This sticky marinade is a winner – super quick to make and adds a wonderfully sweet and rich flavour to chicken pieces.

Ingredients
For the marinade
- soy sauce: 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- chutney: 3 tbsp tomato chutney (or any type will work)
- honey: 2 tbsp runny honey
- Worcestershire sauce: 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
For the chicken
- chicken legs: 8 chicken legs (see recipe tip)
To serve
- potato salad: potato salad and green crunchy leaves
Method
In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken and coat well with the marinade. Cover and keep in the fridge for anything from 20 minutes up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 180C.
Lay the drumsticks in a single layer in the basket and cook for 10 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 10–12 minutes until they are crispy and charred.
Serve with a potato salad and green crunchy leaves.
Recipe tips
You can replace drumsticks with chicken thighs, but will need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Cook for 15 minutes initially and then a further 10–12 minutes.
