How To Make Barbecue Chicken

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Step 2: Make the marinade

Into a saucepan put the tomato ketchup, brown sugar, water, Dijon mustard, chopped garlic, soya sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

Heat gently for a few minutes whilst stirring continuously to mix all the flavours together.

Step 3: Prepare the chicken

Take the knife and cut a few slits into each drumstick. This will allow the marinade to soak into the meat.

Step 4: Boil the chicken

Take the other pan and add the drumsticks to it.

Cover with cold water and add 4 tbsp of the marinade.

Bring to the boil and then simmer gently for 10 minutes, skimming off any excess foam that rises to the surface.

Step 5: Marinate the chicken

Remove the drumsticks from the water and leave them to cool.

When cool, cover them with the remaining marinade and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6: Cook the chicken

Put the drumsticks on a baking tray, allowing a small space between each and place it in the centre of the oven.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Step 7: Add the oil and spring onions

After 20 minutes, add the olive oil and the spring onions and cook for another 5.

Step 8: Serve

Serve while baking hot with French fries and a leafy salad.
