POLOKWANE – These drummettes are sure to be a hit with not only the young ones but the adults too.
What’s for Dinner says these tasty mini-drumsticks are a real crowd-pleaser, and when paired with the crunch of cabbage and crispy fried noodles they’ll appeal to any palate.
Ingredients
- 250ml sunflower oil
- 1.2kg chicken drumettes
- 1 x KNORR Cook-In-Bag BBQ Flavour
- 15ml honey
- 2 cup red cabbage, shredded
- 2 cup green cabbage, shredded
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated
- 100g packet minute noodles
- 180ml mayonnaise
- 30ml parsley, coarsely chopped
Method
- No need to preheat oven.
- Heat 1 cup of sunflower oil in a wok. While this is heating, cut the noodles into 3 cm lengths. Test the oil by dropping in a small amount of noodles – if the oil is hot enough the submerged noodles will puff up and become crispy in seconds. Fry all the noodles and turn to cook both sides. Remove and set aside on a piece of paper towel to drain and cool.
- Place chicken drumettes in the roasting bag together with the honey and season with dry KNORR mixture. Close bag at end with blue tie supplied.
- Very gently massage KNORR mixture into chicken on a stable surface. Ensure dry mixture is spread evenly.
- Place bag sideways in a cool oven dish, ensuring ingredients are evenly spaced.
- Bake at 180°C for 40 minutes on the lowest shelf in the oven. Ensure that the grill is off at all times. Keep enough room for the bag to expand (bag must not touch the sides of the oven).
- In a large bowl, combine red and green cabbage, carrot and noodles. Stir through the mayonnaise and sprinkle the parsley.
- Divide the drumettes among four plates, spoon any remaining sauce in the bag over the chicken and serve with crunchy coleslaw on the side
For a healthier twist on this meal omit the noodles from the coleslaw (it will still taste delicious!) and choose to use chicken drumsticks with the skin removed. Another option would be to not include the honey whean seasoning the chicken pieces in the Knorr Cook-in-Bag.
