Ingredients
- 1 kg (2lbs) chicken drumsticks
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup hoisin sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- sesame seeds to serve
- spring onion to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F.
- Whisk together the soy sauce, Hoisin, honey, lemon juice, crushed garlic and chilli flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more soy, honey or lemon juice.
- Place the chicken in a suitable marinating dish and pour over the marinade. Make sure the chicken is completely covered.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes but up to 24 hours in the fridge.
- Transfer the chicken to a sheet pan and spoon over one third of the marinade. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan and reduce until thick and sticky (the consistency of honey is good).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and switch on the oven's broiler.
- Glaze the chicken then place back in the oven and allow to caramelize for a few minutes. Repeat this a few more times until the chicken is sticky and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and scatter over sesame seeds and spring onion then serve.
