Makes 8
Preparation time 10 minutes, plus 1 hour to marinate
Cooking time about 20 minutes
You need
• 8 drumsticks
• 1 tablespoon double-cream yoghurt
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon chilli powder
• ½ teaspoon finely chopped garlic
• ½ teaspoon finely chopped ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
Here's how
1 Use a sharp knife and make two deep cuts into every drumstick. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and use it to coat the chicken. Put the chicken in the fridge for an hour to marinate.
2 Remove the chicken from the fridge and bring it up to room temperature. Braai the drumsticks over hot coals until browned. Move the grid higher or spread out the coals and braai until the chicken is cooked through. (It should take about 20 minutes, depending on the size of the drumsticks.)
Tip Braai two lemon halves with the drumsticks and drizzle the hot juice over the chicken when you take it off the grid. Add sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Increase the marinade ingredients for more drumsticks.
