BBQ drumsticks with slaw

These deliciously sticky chicken pieces are best eaten with plenty of napkins at the ready. A barbecue grill is a device for cooking food by applying heat directly from below. There are several varieties of such grills, with most falling into one of two categories: gas-fuelled and charcoal

Ingredients:

8 chicken drumsticks

150ml barbecue sauce

For the slaw

1 large carrot, grated

½ white cabbage, shredded

1 red onion, thinly sliced

6 tbsp salad cream

crusty bread, to serve

Method:

1.      Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slash the chicken with a sharp knife and toss with the barbecue sauce in a roasting tray. Season with black pepper and roast for 45 mins, basting every 15 mins with the sauce from the tray, until sticky and cooked through.

2.      Meanwhile, make the slaw. Mix all the vegetables together in a large bowl, then toss through the salad cream and some seasoning. When the chicken is cooked, serve with the slaw and some crusty bread, if you like.
