Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F/350°F fan/gas 6 and line a baking sheet with foil.

2. 2

   Whisk the sweet chili sauce with the orange zest and juice, the crushed garlic, the red curry paste and ¼ tsp of salt in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add the drumsticks and turn them over in the marinade until every one is properly coated, working it into the creases where the skin folds.

4. 4

   Space the drumsticks out on the foil so they roast rather than steam, and scrape whatever marinade is left in the bowl over the top of them.

5. 5

   Roast for 35–40 minutes, until the glaze has darkened and turned sticky and the meat gives easily at the bone.
