Sticky plum chicken drumsticks

You could replace the plums for apricots and use apricot jam.

Ingredients

5 plums, halved, stones taken out

½ onion, chopped

3cm knob ginger, peeled, sliced

2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar

3 tablespoons of plum jam

1 tablespoon of kecap manis

¼ tsp chinese 5 spice

Method

In a medium pot cook onion, garlic and ginger with a little butter until softened. Add the rest of the ingredients and add 200ml water. Simmer for 10 mins or until thickened. Blend when cool. This can be a marinade or a dipping sauce.

This is enough for at least 12 chicken drumsticks. Using half the sauce you can marinate over night then cook at 180C for 45 minutes, basting halfway with some of the sauce. To serve just heat any remaining sauce until thick and pour over your drumsticks
