Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • In a baking dish, add chicken drumsticks, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then bake for 20 minutes. • Remove from oven, then add barbecue seasoning. Toss to coat and spoon over any juices. Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly, this adds flavour to the dish!
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, add coconut milk, the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 15 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• When the chicken has 10 minutes cook time remaining, slice cucumber into half-moons. • In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, cucumber, baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season and set aside. • To the baking dish with the drumsticks, add sweet chilli sauce and turn chicken to coat.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the slaw!
• Thinly slice spring onion. • Divide coconut rice, BBQ sweet-chilli chicken drumsticks and slaw between plates. • Serve with garlic aioli and spring onion. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Help sprinkle over the spring onion.
