Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients
 
 

  • 16 chicken drumsticks
  • 1.5 tbsp tomato sauce or tomato puree
  • 14 ml soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1.5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 orange juice and zest
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl and season well with pepper.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks into the bowl and stir around until all the drumsticks are coated with the sauce.
  • Cover the bowl with cling film and place on the bottom shelf of the fridge to marinate for at least a couple of hours.
  • Light the barbeque or preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.
  • Cook the chicken for at least 30 minutes turning regularly making sure that the chicken cooks evenly on all sides.
  • Before serving, check that the chicken is properly cooked by removing it from the heat and cutting into the thickest part of it with a clean knife to ensure that it is piping hot all the way through and there is no pink meat remaining and the juices run clear.
