"I found this recipe in a Taste magazine and decide to try these. Everything I needed was on hand in the pantry (except for the drumsticks...they were in the fridge...lol)+ I also added some dried chili flakes to the mix, but you can choose to leave it out. I served these with salad, but the recipe did suggest noodles or rice. The family really enjoyed these!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, oil, ginger, chili flakes (if using) and garlic in a shallow ceramic dish. Stir to combine. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, if time permits, turning once or twice during the time frame.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 200C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Spray a wire rack with oil and place over tray (see note below). Remove chicken from marinade & place on the rack.
Step 3
Roast drumsticks, brushing occasionally with marinade, for 30 to 35 minutes or until juices run clear when thickest part is pierced with a skewer.
Step 4
Serve with noodles or rice if using.
Step 5
Notes for roasting drumsticks: Drumsticks are best roasted on a lightly greased roasting rack over a lined baking tray. This allows excess fat and/or marinade to drain during roasting, which in turn produces a crisper, healthier and more nutritious meal.
