Sainsbury's Sweet & Smokey BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
What it is
These are pre-marinated chicken drumsticks coated in a sweet and smokey barbecue sauce. The chicken is typically raw and ready to be cooked at home. The sauce is designed to provide a classic barbecue flavor profile with a balance of sweetness and smoky notes, making them convenient for a quick meal.
How people cook with it
These drumsticks are ideal for grilling, baking, or pan-frying, offering a simple way to prepare a flavorful chicken dish.

To cook, preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6) or prepare your barbecue. Place the drumsticks on a baking tray or directly on the grill. Cook for approximately 30-35 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is sticky and caramelized. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C. You can baste with extra sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking for a more intense flavor.
