Method
- Where most of the meat ends, separate the tendons. In a circular motion, cut around the bone without cutting through it.
- With a paring knife, push the meat toward the knuckle end of the bone. Then cut the tendons and skin off.
- Hold the knuckle and pull the meat down toward the base of the drumstick. There is a small bone that you can feel with your fingers. Wiggle it around until it pops out.
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Rub into the skin of each drumstick.
- Mix the ingredients of the glaze sauce.
- Have your braai fire at medium heat.
- Braai the chicken drumsticks until cooked, about 15 – 20 minutes, turning as needed to crisp the skin.
- Start to glaze after 18 minutes.
- Remove from the fire and serve on a platter.
