Ingredients

• 12 chicken drumsticks
• 30g (1 oz) galangal, finely grated
• 20g (¾ oz) fresh turmeric, finely grated
• 45g (1½ oz) ginger, finely grated
• 3 cloves garlic, finely grated
• 2 bird’s eye chillies, finely diced
• 3 lime leaves, finely cut
• juice and zest of 1 lemon (or lime)
• ½ tbsp brown sugar
• ½ tbsp fermented shrimp paste
• 1 tbsp peanut oil
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• small pinch of salt

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together. Add the chicken drumsticks and ensure they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and leave in the fridge for 2 hours.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high. Once hot, grill the chicken drumsticks for 16-20 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until they are nicely coloured and cooked through. Make sure you brush any remaining marinade onto the drumsticks.
3. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes and then enjoy!
