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.
