Chicken drumsticks are always a popular choice for sticking on the barbecue, a favourite of mine and even children.
With an increasing amount of ready made marinades now available in our stores, its easy to just pop open a bottle and pour over the chicken. Though if you like me and want spice, heat and depth you make your own, here is my Spicy Drumsticks with an Indian Chinese flavour.
