Ingredients

• 3 tbsp clear honey
• 3 tbsp light soy sauce
• ½ tbsp finely grated ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• ½ tsp Chinese five spice
• 1kg chicken drumsticks
• 4 nests of medium egg noodles
• 50g spring onions, finely sliced

Method

1. Heat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, and fan 180°C. Whisk the honey, soy, ginger, garlic, and five Chinese spice with 3 tbsp water in a large bowl, then add the chicken drumsticks and toss them together well. Tip into a roasting tray where the chicken fits snugly (to prevent excess marinade burning). Roast for 35-40 mins (turning halfway through) until the chicken is cooked through and they are sticky and glossy.
2. When the chicken drumsticks have 5 mins left, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, and cook the noodles for 3-4 mins until tender. Drain well and serve with the chicken, scattering with spring onions to serve.
