Ingredients

6 Chicken Drumsticks 750g Total
3 tablespoon Cherry Jam 75g
2 tablespoon Black Treacle 50g
2 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
75 ml Chicken Stock ⅓ Cup
¾ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

Add the cherry jam, treacle, balsamic vinegar and chicken stock to a 15cm (6") saucepan and cook over a medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until it starts to form a syrupy texture.
Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and season them with salt and pepper.
Pour over the hot glaze and stir them to coat.
Transfer the chicken drummers to a baking tray with a cooling rack on it, then bake at 200°C or 390°F for 20 minutes, then flip the oven to fan mode and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 73°C or 165°F before serving.

Lining the tray with foil helps with washing up later.
