Ingredients

  • 2 inch piece fresh ginger (about a 5cm piece)
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon raw sugar
  • 10 chicken drumsticks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Use a teaspoon to scrape the skin from the ginger, then place the ginger and garlic into a food processor and pulse chop until you have a thick paste.
  2. Scrape the paste into a ziplock bag and add the soy sauce, oil, lemon juice, mustard and sugar.
  3. Squish it together to mix, then add in the chicken.
  4. Seal the bag and squish a little more to ensure everything is really well covered.
  5. Set aside to marinade for 4-24 hours.
  6. Pre-heat the oven to 355°F/180°C.
  7. Remove the chicken from the bag and brush off any really chunky bits of marinade. Arrange your chicken into a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  8. Cook for 30 minutes. Turn the heat on 425°F/220°C and cook the drumsticks for a further 15 minutes until golden and charred.
  9. Serve with beer and plenty of napkins - obviously optional but I recommend both ;-)
