BBQ Chicken Drummettes

Preparation Time:  15 minutes, plus marinating
Cooking Time: 35-40 minutes

Serves:   Allow approx 6 pieces per person

Ingredients:

24 mini chicken drummets (ie, the meaty part of the chicken wing)
2 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice
6 Cloves Garlic (crushed)
3 cm piece Fresh Ginger (grated)
2 dessertspoons Honey
3 dessertspoons Soy Sauce


Method:

Place chicken pieces in a large, lidded plastic container if available.  Any sort of bowl or baking dish will suffice. Cover chicken pieces with ingredients as listed above.  Then, mix all well by either shaking, if in lidded container, or by using your hands.  Cover and refrigerate 2-3 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to oven at 180 degrees celsius. Place seasoned/marinated chicken in a baking dish and cook for approximately, 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Half way through, turn and baste the chicken pieces ensuring all are well glazed.

These taste best served warm or at room temperature, but also travel well for yachties and picnics.
