Honey, soy chicken drumsticks
By Amanda Scali

Weeknight meals need not be bland, but sometimes it's hard to find the motivation to cook something delicious.
 
This winter, why not challenge yourself to cook a new dish once a week? Get creative in the kitchen to stave off the winter boredom.
 
These chicken drumsticks are easy to prepare and a delicious meal for the whole family.
 
What you’ll need
 
8 chicken drumsticks (1kg), rinsed
(Optional) 1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds
(Optional) 20g of green onion, thinly sliced
 
Marinade (mix these in a bowl)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
3 Tbsp rice wine (mirin)
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds
1 tsp sesame oil 
A few sprinkles of ground black pepper
 
 
Method
 
Put the chicken into a large zipper-lock bag and add the sauce. Seal the bag and vigorously shake the bag and massage the chicken so that the sauce smears well onto the chicken.
 
Preheat an oven at 240C for 20 mins. Take the chicken out from the fridge.
 
Lay down some baking paper on the oven tray and line up the chicken. Make sure they are not stacked up on top of each other.
 
Put the tray into the oven and bake it at 240 C for 12 mins. Take the tray out and turn the chicken over, and put it back into the oven.
 
Bake it a further 12 mins or until the chicken is fully cooked. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.
 
Serve.
