Background
After burgers and sausages, chicken drumsticks are probably the most popular meat to grill or barbecue. The great advantage of chicken is that it easily takes on the flavours of marinades so you can make fantastically tasty meals with little effort. The recipe of these Asian-style BBQ drumsticks is straightforward - perfect for BBQ parties or lazy weekends. In the winter you can bake theme in the oven too.
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped shallots
- 2 Tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 2 Tbsp cane sugar
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Clean and set aside the chicken.
- Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Put the chicken legs into a freezer bag, then pour over the marinade. Tie the handles, then shake the bag a bit and massage the drumsticks until well coated in the marinade.
- Put the bag in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Take the chicken out of the refrigerator half an hour before grilling.
- Heat your grill or BBQ, then gently cook the drumsticks over low-medium heat until charred. Make sure the meat is cooked through properly!
- Alternatively, bake them in an oven at 180C for approx. 35 minutes.
- Serve them warm or at room temperature.
