A tasty version of sticky-style chicken recipes. I used all drumsticks. The marinade was well thought-out, including sweet/savoury/tart elements. A little too much heat for us. Thank you chef, and good luck in the contest.

Great flavour. I used all drumsticks, and set them in the fridge to marinade early in the morning. We don't generally eat until late, so they sat, soaking up all that goodness for a good 12 hours. Baked up like a dream (I'm no good at broiling meat) and were moist and tasty. I did make the sauce as directed, but neither of us cared for it. Makes a great marinade though. :) Good luck in the contest, and thank you for you contribution to the RSC Potion #18 Event.
