Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 chicken drumsticks, preferably free-range
6 chicken wings, preferably free-range
3 tbsp clear honey
1 fresh ginger, 3cm piece, peeled & grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice
1/2 tsp dried red chili flakes
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp orange marmalade
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

Slash the chicken drumsticks 3-4 times each with a sharp knife and place in a non-metallic bowl with the chicken wings. Mix together all the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken.
Leave to marinate for min. 2 hours, or overnight if you can.
Once marinated, place the chicken on the barbeque over medium-hot coals and cook for about 20 min, brushing all over with the marinade as it cooks.
(if it's colouring too quickly, move to a cooler part of the barbecue to cook gently.)
Cook until the marinade and skin have caramelized to a slightly dark crisp.
If you're unsure whether they're done, pierce a drumstick with a skewer: if the juices are still pink, carry on cooking for a few more minutes.
Sprinkle with a few sesame seeds before serving.
