Marinade
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Prepare the drumsticks by making 3-4 deep cuts into the meaty part of each piece.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl and add the marinade ingredients.
- Mix until well combined.
- Line a baking tray with foil.
- Place the chicken pieces onto the foil in one layer.
- Pour over any marinade left in the bowl.
- Roast for 1 hour or until dark golden brown and just cooked through.
- Just before the chicken drumsticks are ready, heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic, chilli and spring onion and stir-fry for a minute.
- Then add the vinegar, soy sauce and sugar.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the drumsticks from the oven and transfer them into the pan with the sauce.
- 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.
- 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.
