Our recipe for the week is a Bang-tasty chicken drumsticks recipe for you to try at home.
Ingredients
* 2 teaspoons tomato purée
* 2 teaspoons soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* 8 skinless chicken drumsticks
* 880g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
* 4 carrots (or 320g), sliced
* 320g frozen peas
* 4 tablespoons milk
* 1 pinch ground black pepper
* Teaspoon all purpose seasoning
Method
* Put the tomato purĂ©e, soy sauce and lemon juice into a mixing bowl (not a metal one). Mix well and season with black pepper and all purpose seasoning. Add the chicken drumsticks, turning to coat them in the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if preferred. Information: Chicken skin has a high fat content, so that’s why it’s best to remove it.
* When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200C/fan oven 180C/gas mark 6. Arrange the drumsticks in a foil-lined roasting tin and roast for 30 minutes, brushing them with the remaining glaze after 20 minutes.
* While the chicken is roasting, boil the potatoes and carrots in separate saucepans until tender – they will take about 20 minutes. Put the peas on to cook in a little boiling water, 5 minutes before the chicken is ready.
* Drain and mash the potatoes, beat in the milk and season with black pepper. Serve with the chicken drumsticks, carrots and peas.
Tip
To add flavour to the mash use a mixture of sweet potato and potato.
Additional tip
When boiling the potatoes, boil with a teaspoon of Aromat for flavour.
