"From a cookbook titled Let the Kids Cook which was distributed by a local supermarket in a showbag and the local Royal Agricultural Show. Times are estimated. UPDATE - have since made this twice each time using 2 drumsticks with an approximate weight of 350 grams, the first time I did not slash them and they took 55 minutes to bake, the second time I slashed them and they took 40 minutes to cook but had a lot more flavour which had permeated the meat more than the first time."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Slash each drumstick in 3 places with a sharp knife (this will help the marinade to get into the flesh and speed up cooking time - if you don't want to slash the drumsticks allow 35 to 45 minutes to cook.)
Step 2
In a bowl combine all the ingredients and work the marinade into the drumstick meat.
Step 3
Lay the drumsticks out in a single layer in a shallow pan or on a baking tray, leaving a little space between each if possible and pour over any excess marinade.
Step 4
Bake at 180C for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling (time will depend on size of drumsticks, I usually find it takes about 45 minutes most times).
Step 5
Serve with coleslaw.
