    Cook in the oven for approximately 15 mins then flip and baste your drumsticks and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes. Do one final baste and flip before returning to the oven to cook for a further 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Recipe Notes

\n
Feel free to add the sesame seeds for the last 15 minutes in the oven instead of sprinkling them on once they have been removed from the oven if desired. You don't have to toast them if you do this.\n
\nIf you want you drumsticks browned off more place them under the grill for a couple of minutes prior to serving.\n
\nIf sauce is not thick and sticky when your drumsticks are cooked, drain off the sauce and bring to a simmer in a small saucepan until sauce thickens, Brush over the drums to serve.\n
\nCooking times in this recipe were designed for large drumsticks. Adjust your cooking time if your chicken pieces are smaller or if they are boneless.\n
\nSauce can also be used to create a chicken and vegetable stir fry. Panfry chicken till cooked, add vegetables of choice such as broccoli, asparagus, red or green peppers and cauliflower and saute till cooked through. Stir through the sauce and heat on a high temperature until the sauce thickens slightly.
