  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
