Ingredients

  • 1.6kg chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 2½ tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Gunpowder Spice Blend
  • ¼ tsp fine salt
  • 25g pack mint (leaves only, reserving a few to serve)
  • 15g fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 green chilli, roughly chopped
  • 100g natural yogurt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. In a large bowl, coat the chicken drumsticks in the sunflower oil, Gunpowder Spice Blend and fine salt. Transfer the chicken drumsticks to a large baking tray and roast for 35-40 minutes until cooked through, there is no pink meat remaining and the juices run clear.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small food processor, whizz together most of the mint leaves (reserving a few leaves to serve), grated ginger, chopped green chilli, natural yogurt and a pinch of salt until fairly smooth.

  3. Arrange the chicken on a platter with the mint yogurt. Shred the remaining mint leaves and scatter them over the drumsticks to serve.
