00 minIngredients
150g tahini
80g runny honey
8 chicken drumsticks
About 24 small new potatoes
1 tablespoon paprika
Sea salt flakes
Coarse black pepper
Olive or rapeseed oil
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan/gas mark 7.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the tahini and honey with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Remove the skin from the chicken drumsticks and slash each one three times.
-
Add the drumsticks to the marinade and coat them well.
-
Refrigerate until you are ready to roast.
-
Slice the potatoes in half, though leave any particularly tiny ones whole, and tip into a large roasting tray. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and the paprika, toss together until the potatoes are well coated and roast for 20 minutes.
-
After this time, lay the drumsticks on top of the potatoes and roast for a further 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the marinade is crispy.
