Ingredients
8 organic chicken drumsticks or thighs
For the marinade:
5 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Maldon sea salt
Aioli – optional but a delicious accompaniment.
Just add crushed garlic and chopped flat parsley to mayonnaise.
Method
Slash the drumsticks in 2 places on each side. If using thighs, just cut through the skin side. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together and toss the chicken in it so that all sides are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or more. Drain.
Sprinkle the drumsticks with sea salt and grill over medium coals, turning regularly until no trace of pink remains – about 15 minutes. Alternatively, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, roast in a preheated oven at 180°C/gas mark 4 for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
Serve with Aioli.
