Follow this easy barbecue recipe and try changing the ingredients slightly to be a bit more adventurous when the mood takes you.

Ingredients

• 12 juicy free range chicken drumsticks.

For the  sticky marinade:

• 2 tbsp local honey. (flavoured varieties are fine )

• 3cm/1¼in piece of freshly peeled and grated Ginger.

• 1 Large Garlic clove finely chopped or crushed.

• 1½ tsp ground Chinese five spice.

• 2 tsp dark soy sauce.

• 3 tbsp thick cut orange marmalade.

• ½ tsp finely grated orange zest.

• 1 tbsp Tahini or sesame oil.

• 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes

 How to make Sticky Chicken Drummers

Make three or four even cuts to the chicken drumsticks. Mix all the Marinade ingredients together in a glass bowl or jug and pour evenly over the chicken pieces.

Leave the chicken to marinate for as long as possible up to 12 hours if you can. Marinate for a minimum of two hours.

Place the marinated chicken on the barbecue ensuring you leave space between each drumstick. Cook on a medium hot grill for around twenty minutes or until piping hot and cooked all the way through.

If you’re not certain your chicken is thoroughly cooked prick the thickest part of the drumstick with a skewer: The chicken is cooked if the juices run clear. If the juices are still pink continue to cook and repeat the process until the juices run clear.

• If the weather is bad you can of course cook these in your home oven. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
• Coat the chicken  drumsticks evenly with the marinade and cook for around 50 minutes or until piping hot and cooked through. Test them the same way as for the barbecue recipe .

Barbecue Ribs – Easiest & Stickiest Recipe

Since my childhood I have always adored the sticky meatiness of good home cooked barbecue ribs.

I have eaten many varieties and variations of sticky barbecue ribs in even the most unlikely parts of the world. I have tried barbecue ribs that are extra meaty, some that are extra sticky, and some that were neither meaty or sticky!

This simple barbecue ribs recipe uses basic store cupboard ingredients,and meat you can find from almost any butcher or supermarket.

I know this is my own version of a recipe, but I honestly believe it really does take some beating!

Ingredients For The Easiest And Stickiest Barbecue Ribs

500g carton or jar of Passata (sieved tomatoes).
2 large garlic cloves peeled and crushed.
2 tbsp soy sauce.
1 tbsp Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce.
1kg meaty but lean pork ribs.
3 tbsp good quality honey.
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce.
1  good grind of freshly ground black pepper.
1/2 tsp English mustard

Easy Cooking Method

Heat oven to 200C standard/fan oven 180C/gas mark 6.
In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the pork and mix well until creating a thick and scrummy looking marinade/sauce. Ready for the barbecue ribs to be coated in.

Put the pork ribs into the bowl with the sauce and toss them with your hands to make sure they are coated evenly.

Carefully, transfer the ribs to a shallow roasting tin or ceramic oven dish. Pour over the rest of the sauce. Cover with alluminium foil, and let the ribs and sauce stand for five minutes.

Roast the barbecue ribs in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.

After 35 mins remove  from oven.

Remove Alluminium foil, and cook uncovered for a further 50 minutes until thick and sticky

During this extra cooking time, turn ribs and coat in sauce at least twice.

Check that barbecue ribs are piping hot and cooked all the way through before serving.
