With the skin removed, drumsticks fall into the low fat food category. They are a terrific source of a range of B group vitamins, vitamin E, and pantothenic acid and cooked like this, they taste great.

Ingredients

1 kg chicken drumsticks, free range

60 ml tamari

20 ml honey

½ lemon juice only

1 small red chilli, deseeded (optional)

15 ml sesame oil

Chinese coleslaw:

4 cups Chinese cabbage, shredded

1 cup carrot, grated

½ cup fresh mint, roughly chopped

½ cup fresh coriander, roughly chopped

2 tbsp sesame seeds, roasted

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp tamari

1 tbsp lemon juice

cracked black pepper

Method

Remove skin from the drumsticks - by cutting down under the skin to the knuckle, and using a clean tea towel, take hold of the skin and pull it off the bone - I find it too slippery just using bare hards.
Combine tamari, honey, lemon, chilli and sesame oil to make the marinade, and pour over the drumsticks. Leave for one hour or longer if time permits.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Place chicken in oven for 30 minutes, turning occasionally to coat in sauce.
To make the coleslaw, mix together cabbage, carrot, herbs and sesame seeds. Combine remaining ingredients for the dressing and pour over the coleslaw, mixing well.

Serve chicken with coleslaw.
