Barbequed chicken legs are tastier with a marinade and its all about great flavours being given time to infuse and flavour the meat. Be careful when cooking chicken, make sure it’s properly cooked.

Method

01
Put all the marinade ingredients together in mixing bowl and whisk together.
02
Cut a couple of slices into each of the chicken drumsticks and place onto a roasting tin. Drizzle the marinade over each of the chicken drumsticks and twist them through the barbecue marinade. Cover and then put into the refrigerator for 1 hour to let the flavours infuse through the chicken drumsticks; if you remember, twist them through the barbecue marinade part way through the marinading time.
03
Preheat the oven to 180oC / 350oF. Roast for 30 minutes; try and twist the drumsticks after about 20 minutes. If barbecuing, cook for 20 minutes in the oven then brown off over the barbecue.
04
Serve immediately. We ate ours with saffron boiled rice and boiled broccoli and runner beans. You could leave to cool and then enjoy cold in a picnic or for packed lunches.
