Chinese chicken drumsticks

Everyone has a recipe like this. You know, something that you can marinade overnight and cook for a hungry family any night of the week. The best thing about this in a combi is that the skin is extra crispy and everyone loves these flavours!

Check your Auto program options (depending on your brand and model) for a ‘set and forget’ cooking option. Go to roast/chicken and see if you have a drumstick option. Keep in mind that the honey can burn so add it half way through the cooking process for sticky, melt in the mouth chicken! Don’t forget to add your fat filter for any roasting to keep the fan clean and do a soaking program after you’ve eaten.

Ingredients: Serves 4

8 chicken drumsticks
¼ cup soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
knob ginger, grated
½ tsp Five spice powder
¼ tsp ground chilli powder (Optional)
¼ tsp sesame oil
1-2 tbsp honey
Sesame seeds to serve

Method:

Mix all the ingredients except sesame seeds together and pour over chicken drumsticks in a plastic bag or container.
Marinate overnight if possible, turning a couple of times.
Fit the fat filter to the combi oven.
Remove from the marinade and roast in the large stainless steel tray on Combination mode 180°C + 30% steam for 40 minutes.
Add remaining marinade to the drumsticks half-way through cooking. Turn to coat and let them caramelise until sticky and delicious.
Sprinkle with Sesame seeds to serve.

Hi Trudy,
Thanks for the recipe . Is that a typo or is there an ingredient that should be added after the ginger? Also did you just lay the drumsticks on the stainless steel trays ?
Thanks

Thanks Trudy – I find this very helpful as I don’t use my comb steamer oven much ….do you use the stainless steel trays ? Can you use the afloat cooking dishes so they can be thrown out rather than have the sticky washing up?
Charmaine.

  The benefit of the trays is that they go into the oven sides, giving you greater cooking area. I always use baking paper which helps with the washing up. Perhaps it’s time you had a class, email me?
  Cheers Trudy
