Sweet Chilli Chicken BBQ

There are many ways to create delicious marinades for chicken drumsticks prior to barbecuing them but I think that this Sweet Chilli Chicken BBQ recipe is particularly pleasing. It gives the drumstick skins a lovely crispy quality and the flavour is great. To ensure the chicken is properly cooked through you should first use your conventional oven before finishing off on your barbecue - unless you have a sophisticated one that allows controlled slow-cooking.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Chicken drumsticks preferably free-range
  • Marinade: 4 Tbsp Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce

Method
 

  1. Place the drumsticks in a large freezer bag.
  2. Mix the marinade in a bowl and add to the chicken pieces. Squidge the bag to cover all the drumsticks with the mixture, then put in the fridge for at least an hour - preferably overnight.

  4. Cook the chicken on your hot barbeque for about 10 minutes, turning frequently until nicely browned.
