Oven-Baked Char Siu Flavoured Chicken Drumsticks チャーシューチキン
Description
This recipe features chicken drumsticks marinated in a blend of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, curry powder, sesame oil, garlic, and onion. The marinade is prepared by finely chopping the onion and garlic, combining them with the other ingredients, then rubbing the mixture thoroughly onto pierced drumsticks. Marinating at least 5-6 hours or overnight allows the flavors to penetrate the meat deeply.
Baking at 220°C (430°F) for about 40 minutes total, flipping halfway through, ensures both sides become golden brown and crisp outside while retaining juiciness inside. The high heat helps render the skin and caramelize the sugars, producing a sticky and flavorful exterior reminiscent of traditional char siu flavor profiles.
This dish can be served on its own or paired with rice and vegetables for a complete meal. The savory and sweet notes and slight curry undertone distinguish it from simple roasted chicken versions.
The marinade recipe is flexible and can also be used to flavor other meats such as pork or beef, making it a versatile preparation for different proteins.

Marinade
- 1/2 onion about 70g, large

Instructions
