Decades ago I used to make a dish with soya-marinated chicken drumsticks. For some reason we haven't made it for years, and I can no longer find the recipe. But we had some drumsticks taking up space in a freezer for some time now, so it's time to revive it, or, as proved to be the case, reinvent it. This is what I came with on 2 June 2021.
For 3 or 4 portions
| quantity | ingredient | step | ||
| 0.5 g | cloves | 1 | ||
| 2.5 g | cinnamon | 1 | ||
| 25 g | ginger | 2 | ||
| 30 g | garlic | 2 | ||
| 80 g | light soya sauce | 2 | ||
| 20 g | dark soya sauce | 2 | ||
| 250 ml | water | 2 | ||
| 1 kg | Chicken thighs (about 6) | 3 | ||
| 2 | star anise | 4 |
Finely divide the cloves and cinnamon in a spice blender.
Mix ginger, garlic with soya sauce and water. Blend with the spice powders until uniform.
Marinate the drumsticks in the marinade for 30 minutes on each side:
Cook with the whole star anise for 20 minutes on a side.
Dry, then deep fry or “air fry” for a few minutes to get the desired consistency:

The results? Yvonne was very happy, but I wasn't. Maybe I've outgrown this kind of food.
