Baked Chicken Satay Drumsticks
For me a dish that delivers big on Asian flavours, but can all be put into one dish in the oven is a big winner, not only for time and convenience but it means I get half an hour to do something else, rather than watching a pot on the stove.
After the huge flavour hit we experienced in Malaysia in February, I was craving a good satay again. I knew I could not replicate the atmosphere of eating satay sticks on the street but I could try to get that sticky, salty and nutty flavour just right. Rather than fiddle around with getting chicken breast or thighs onto a stick I decided to use drumsticks instead, my kids love the soft meat on these and my oldest loves to break it off the bone cave man style.
This is a perfect recipe to prepare beforehand when you are on your lunchbreak at home for example, and then put it into the oven later in the evening when you are ready to eat.
