Thai Drumsticks

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   1 min

   Set your oven temperature to 200°C (180°C for fan ovens) or gas mark 6. While the oven heats, prepare a baking tray by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup later.

2. 2

   Prepare the Marinade

   5 min

   In a mixing bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce, the zest from one orange, orange juice, crushed garlic, and Thai red curry paste. Add a pinch of salt and stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and the paste is smooth.

3. 3

   Coat the Drumsticks

   4 min

   Take the chicken drumsticks and immerse them in the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. This ensures that the flavors infuse well into the meat.

4. 4

   Arrange Drumsticks on Tray

   39 min

   Transfer the coated drumsticks onto the lined baking tray, making sure to leave some space between each piece for even cooking. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the top for extra flavor during roasting.

5. 5

   Roast the Drumsticks

   1 min

   Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the drumsticks for 35 to 40 minutes. You'll know they are done when the chicken is tender and juices run clear. For added moisture, you can cover them with foil once they are cooked to keep them warm before serving.
