Super easy, will add more tomatoes next time and maybe mushrooms

Unfortunately I did not have time to skin my drumsticks so went ahead but I thought the herbs was way too much so only used 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme leaves and ground sage which I think flavoured the drumsticks well (more than that would have been overkill for us). My lemons were not juicy so used 2 and got just under 1/4 cup of juice. A punnet of tomatoes here is 250 grams which is what I used and suited the 3 of us that I was catering to and to be honest they pleasantly surprised and would quite happily have had more as the flavour from the marinate had perfumed them just a little and gave them a delightful taste. Overall on preparation time a quick and easy dish which you can bung in the oven and then voila and hour late dinner is ready (which gives you time to make the sides).
