Marinating chicken can make a world of difference when it comes to flavour, and at the same time, how appetising it looks. This simple recipe will elevate your chicken drumsticks, turning them into a fantastic meal for four. Follow three easy steps and make sure you leave plenty of time to marinate.
This recipe should only take about half an hour to prepare, with an additional 10 to 30 minutes of cooking time. Sharing it online, BBC Food said: “This sticky marinade is a winner – super quick to make and adds a wonderfully sweet and rich flavour to chicken pieces.”
Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the marinade components and stir until fully blended. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring each one is evenly covered in the mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate, letting the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes or as long as 24 hours.
When it’s time to begin cooking, set the air fryer to 180C and allow it to preheat.
Arrange the chicken drumsticks in a single layer within the fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip each piece and continue cooking for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the exterior is crisp and slightly charred.
Plate and serve alongside a potato salad and a selection of fresh, crunchy greens, or your preferred side dish.
