## Content

**Ingredients**

6 plump chicken drumsticks

2 Tbsp miso paste

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp peanut oil

1 Tbsp mirin

1 Tbsp honey

2 tsp sambal oelek (or other chilli sauce)

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp salt

Fresh coriander to garnish

**Method**

Combine all ingredients in a ziplock bag, massage the drumsticks through the bag, and marinate for 2 or 3 hours.

Bake in a 220℃ oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until cooked through to the bone. Lower the temperature if they are overbrowning. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Keep the sides simple: a crisp green salad with a light Asian dressing would be perfect.**DM/TGIFood**
