Hints & tips
Chicken - Using drumsticks in this recipe is great as they cook quickly, the skin gets a little crispy & the meat stays nice and juicy. Feel free to swap for other chicken pieces such as skin on thighs. Remember not to over crowd the baking dish when cooking them - over crowding prevents the skin from crisping up.
Lime - No limes on hand. Lemon juice is a good alternative.
Serving suggestion - Serve along side sweet potato mash with mango chutney & raita.
Portion size - This chicken recipe is perfect to double/ triple for large crowds such as BBQ's. Equally you can half the recipe easily.
Storage - These drumsticks will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Delicious for smoko or lunches.
