Sticky Thai Chicken

We're on our hols so posting has been impossible until I found this cafe with free Wifi.... so here's a quick BBQ recipe we tried out on the BBQ yesterday evening.

Ingredients

2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

grated zest 1 orange, plus 2 tbsp juice

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 tbsp good-quality Thai red curry paste

8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed, the flesh slashed

Marinate the chicken overnight in a sealed container to really enhance the flavours.

Method

Heat oven or BBQ to 200C.  Mix the chilli sauce with the orange zest and juice, garlic, curry paste and ¼ tsp salt. Add the chicken and coat really well.

Arrange the drumsticks on the foil or grill, spaced apart. Coat the chicken with any marinade left in the bowl, then roast for 35-40 mins until tender.
Serve with a crusty baguette and une salad verte!
