These sticky chicken drumsticks are full of flavour and super easy to make. Serve with a simple salad for a mouth-watering midweek meal.

Method

For the marinade, put all of the marinade ingredients into a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and allow to marinate while you preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
Put the chicken drumsticks on a roasting tray and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until the skin is golden and the chicken is cooked through. (To check, pierce the drumstick at its thickest part, next to the bone. The juices should run clear.)

3 garlic cloves, chopped

2 tsp five-spice powder

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp groundnut oil

2 tbsp light soy sauce

1kg/2lb chicken drumsticks, skin on
