Sticky Honey Chicken Drumsticks

Sticky Honey Chicken Drumsticks

6 mediustickym chicken drumsticks (about 120g each)
Dash of freshly ground black pepper

3 T. honey
2 T. light soy sauce
2 T. tomato ketchup
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. sweet chilli sauce
1 tsp. garlic (crushed)
1 tsp. grated ginger

Roasted sesame seeds (optional)

.Remove the papery skin from a clove of garlic. Squeeze the garlic through a garlic crusher. Peel a piece of root ginger and grate it on a fine grater. Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and set aside. Slash 2 lines on the drumsticks with a knife and season with freshly ground black pepper. Pour the marinade over to coat the drumsticks and transfer all (together with the liquid) to a ziplop bag. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight (for best results). 30 minutes before baking, remove the drumsticks from the fridge. Preheat the oven at 200°C. Place the marinated drumsticks (together with the marinade) on a baking dish and bake for 40 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown, turning (with a pair of tongs) and basting (note 3) the drumsticks every 10 minutes or so. After baking, filter the leftover sauce through a sieve. Pour the sauce over a small sauce pan and simmer until thicken. Pour over the chicken drumsticks and sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds before serving.
