Preparation

Place chicken in shallow pan. In small bowl, mix together marinade ingredients. Spoon over chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once.

Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Remove chicken from marinade mixture and place on foil-lined baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes, turning once.

Meanwhile, pour marinade mixture into medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and cornstarch. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

During the last 10 minutes of baking time, brush drumsticks generously 2 or 3 times with the sauce. Serve remaining sauce with the drumsticks.

Tips

To barbecue drumsticks, use a medium heat and cook for 40 to 45 minutes or until juices run clear when drumsticks are pierced at their thickest part. -James Barber
