With a tangy sweet and spicy glaze these spicy chicken drumsticks are great for a budget TV dinner served with salad and oven chips or potato wedges. Slashing the flesh of the drumsticks allows the marinade to penetrate the flesh and give loads of extra flavour. If you want to reduce the calorie content of this dish you can remove the skins from the drumsticks before marinating, however the skin does help to keep the flesh moist during cooking. For a curried marinade replace the sugar with 2 tbsp smooth mango chutney and instead of mustard add 2tsp medium curry paste.

- 2tbsp dark soft brown sugar
