Preparazione

1. 1

   Mix all the ingredients in a plastic bag and marinate the chicken overnight. It helps to knead the bag every now and then to make sure the chicken is completely covered.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 140°C/fan 120°C/285°F/gas mark 1.

3. 3

   Arrange the drumsticks in a dish in a single layer. Drizzle a bit of marinade over them to keep them moisturized. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

4. 4

   Take the chicken out of the oven and increase the temperature to 180°C/fan 160°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

5. 5

   Remove the foil and pour a bit more marinade to the chicken and make sure the drumsticks are well-coated.

6. 6

   Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, turning several times, until the chicken is tender and nicely glazed.

7. 7

   Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
