Spicy Chipotle Lime Chicken Drumsticks have a rich history rooted in the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine. This dish originated in the southern regions of Mexico, where local chefs combined the smoky heat of chipotle peppers with the zesty tang of lime to create a mouthwatering marinade for succulent chicken drumsticks. Over time, this recipe gained popularity in Tex-Mex restaurants across the United States, where it became a beloved staple. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Mexican eateries, where skilled chefs expertly balance the spicy, smoky, and citrusy flavors.
