INGREDIENTS
10 chicken drumettes
2 tablespoons of canola oil
1 tablespoon of sweet paprika
2 teaspoons of sea salt
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon of all-purpose chicken spice
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
1 teaspoon of onion powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup of pistachios, crumbled
1 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of Sriracha
METHOD
1. Prepare the Rub:
In a small bowl, create a flavourful rub by combining sweet paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, black pepper, all-purpose chicken spice, ground ginger, and onion powder. This aromatic blend will infuse the chicken drumettes with a symphony of spices.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, coat the chicken drumettes with canola oil, ensuring they are well-covered. Add the prepared rub, tossing the drumettes to ensure an even coating. For optimal flavour infusion, let the chicken marinate for at least 3 hours, or for an intensified taste, marinate overnight.
3. Preheat and Roast:
Preheat the oven to 200ºC and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the marinated drumettes on the tray and roast on the middle rack for 20 minutes. Turn them over and continue roasting until the wings are cooked through and boast a golden-brown skin, which should take an additional 20 minutes.
4. Create the Honey-Glaze:
In a large pan, melt unsalted butter and combine it with honey. Add a kick of heat with a couple of squirts of Sriracha. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, creating a luscious honey-butter glaze that will perfectly coat the roasted drumettes.
5. Coat with Pistachios:
Once the drumettes are roasted to perfection, transfer them to the honey-butter glaze. Ensure an even coating by mixing them thoroughly in the pan. Now comes the pièce de résistance – roll each drumette in crumbled pistachios one by one, ensuring they are generously coated for a delightful crunch in every bite.
