Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks

Sticky, sweet and spicy chicken drumsticks.

I was suppose to make these with wings but unfortunately the local supermarket had run out! But drumsticks were also a suitable just as cheap and tasty alternative. The recipe is pretty easy with just a very small amount of work at the start and then bunging them in the slowcooker.

I served mine up with a blue cheese dip, recipe included below, which offered a cool compliment to the sweet spice. I also served mine with a jacket potato, kale and carrot coleslaw and a small salad. Turn up the spice by adding more Tabasco, this recipe is for a mild spice.

• 4-6 chicken drumsticks

Directions

1. Place all the ingredients, other than the chicken, into a food processor and blitz to a pace
