Method

  • step 1

    Tip all of the marinade ingredients into a mixing bowl with a good grinding of pepper and whisk them together. Score the drumsticks with a sharp knife, if you like, and toss them in the marinade. Cover and chill for as long as you can – overnight is good but 24 hrs is even better.

  • step 2

    Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Lay the drumsticks on a shallow roasting tray and spoon over any excess marinade from the bowl. Roast the chicken for 40 mins, then baste with the sticky juices in the tin. Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and continue to cook the chicken for 20 mins more, or until caramelised (it’s fine for it to char a little). Use tongs to lift the chicken onto a platter and scatter over some sliced red chilli and spring onions, if you like. Serve with coleslaw and plenty of napkins. Cold beers are optional.

Far too much garlic for us, and we usually love garlic. Charred skin was nice, but the burnt garlic spoiled it. I added a tsp sesame oil to the marinade as it's a flavour I associate with food I ate in Seoul. Served with savoury vegetable rice and salad

I did full marinade but only for 6 drumsticks overnight and it did not provide enough flavour. Not sure if I needed to double the recipe for it to work properly.

Moreish, tasty, spicy without being to over powering, the skin of the chicken is divine if charred too. Really easy to make with excellent results. Next time I make this I wish to add a squeeze of lime juice to the marinade and some coriander over the end dish as I think it would bring the…
