Ingredients

12 chicken drumsticks

1/4 cup honey

3 tbsp white wine vinegar

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tbsp dijon mustard

2 tbsp neutral oil

2 tbsp thyme leaves, or finely chopped rosemary

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

STEP 1

Place chicken in a bowl or clean plastic bag.

Combine honey, vinegar, garlic, mustard, oil and herbs, add to chicken and toss to coat.

Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

STEP 2

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 200°C and line a large baking dish with baking paper for easy clean-up.

Arrange chicken drumsticks in a single layer on prepared oven tray and season with salt and pepper.

Transfer marinade to a small pot and simmer until slightly thickened (about 3 minutes).

Bake chicken, turning frequently, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a skewer in the thickest part (25-30 minutes).

Brush with reduced marinade during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

Alternatively, microwave in a covered dish for 8 minutes then brush with reduced marinade and barbecue or grill for 6-8 minutes until golden and fully cooked through.

Spoon over the remaining reduced marinade to serve.

VARIATION

You can use rosemary or thyme for these succulent drumsticks.
