  • 6 chicken drumsticks

  • 500 ml water- warm

  • 3tbsp sea salt

  • 2tbsp brown sugar

  • 2tsp spices of choice- I’d use cinnamon, vanilla, allspice

  • 1 tsp star anise

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 fresh chilli- chopped

  • 4 slices lemon

  • 4tsp veg oil

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Mix together Mark’s curing solution by adding to a bowl warm water, salt, brown sugar, spices of choice, star anise, garlic, chilli and lemon. Leave to stand for 10 mins.

Add the chicken and leave it to cure in the fridge for 3hours.

Step 2

Remove chicken from the cure, pat dry with a paper towel.

Rub a little oil around the chicken and dust in blackened seasoning. 

 

Step 3

Cook on hot BBQ, griddle plate or large frying pan. Place the chicken onto the heat and grill for 6mins browning on all sides.

Lower the heat and continue cooking for 10-15mins. If you prefer you can finish in an oven at 200°C and cook for a further 15mins.

Total cooking time should be 20mins either method.

Step 4

Check to see if the chicken is cooked. Are the juices clear, does the knife feel hot to touch when placed into the thickest part?

Step 5

Before serving, sprinkle more blacked seasoning over the chicken. Serve with fresh lemon.

Delicious served with sour cream and spiced chutney like apple or mango.
