Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
2. Prepare the drumsticks by making 3-4 deep cuts into the meaty part of each piece.
3. Place the chicken in a large bowl and add the marinade ingredients.
4. Mix until well combined.
5. Line a baking tray with foil.
6. Place the chicken pieces onto the foil in one layer.
7. Pour over any marinade left in the bowl.
8. Roast for 1 hour or until dark golden brown and just cooked through.
9. Just before the chicken drumsticks are ready, heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
10. Add the garlic, chilli and spring onion and stir-fry for a minute.
11. Then add the vinegar, soy sauce and sugar.
12. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
13. Remove the drumsticks from the oven and transfer them into the pan with the sauce.
14. Toss until well coated and simmer for another 3-4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is sticky and glossy.
15. Transfer to a serving bowl. Scatter over the cucumber and coriander.

Notes

**If you cannot find Chinese black vinegar you can substitute it with a mixture of half of the white and balsamic vinegar.
