These Sticky Honey Drumsticks with Green Italian Peppers are a great mid week meal for anyone. Sweet marinaded chicken cooked to perfection with roasted peppers. A great all in one pan dinner!
Because I absolutely love Oven Roasted Italian Green Peppers, I knew this dish was going to be a hit! Lightly charred honey drumsticks with perfectly roasted peppers. A great summer’s dinner!
Okay, so it’s hot outside, like 34 degrees hot. I know it is just about summer and these temperatures are to be expected, but I would like to wait a while before things start heating up. Mind you, I will be spending a whole month in Newfoundland this summer and something tells me it might just be a bit cooler.
Notes About The Chicken
- This dish ends up with a lot of pan juices which are delicious poured over rice. If you are really keen you could even turn the pan juices into a sauce. You can do that by adding the pan juices to a small saucepan along with 1 cup/240 ml chicken stock and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Bring it to a simmer and add a cornflour/water mixture (1 tablespoons cornflour and 2 tablespoons water) and whisk until you have a thickened sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover and leave for about 5 minutes. The sauce is done!
- Since we are into full on barbecue season, you could just as easily do these chicken drumsticks directly over you barbecue if you prefer. Just simply marinade them in the same way and then cook them over a medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Spoon over the marinade and rotate the chicken as you cook it for best results. I would keep the peppers to cook in the oven as this does give best results. Well, in my opinion. if you do choose to cook the peppers over the barbecue be careful not to burn them. They will cook best over a lower heat for longer. This way, they will be soft with charred skins on the outside.
- This chicken is more flavoursome if you marinade it for several hours. If you have time, I recommend the marinading.
