Sticky Ginger Chicken

Return to Recipes

       Serves 4

 

· 8 chicken drumsticks or thighs

· 2 tablespoons lemon juice

· 2 tablespoons light Muscovado sugar

· 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

· 2 teaspoons soy sauce

· Freshly ground black pepper

· Salt to taste

 

 

In a mixing bowl, mix together the lemon juice, sugar, ginger, soy sauce and pepper to form a glaze.  Taste, and add a little salt if required.

 

Remove the skin and any fat from the drumsticks or thighs.  Slash the flesh on each one 2 or 3 times and toss the chicken in the glaze.

 

Cook the chicken under a moderately hot grill, turning them occasionally and brushing with the glaze.  Cook until the juices run clear when the flesh is pierced with a skewer.
