I've heard people say the older you get, the more childish you become.
Luckily it hasn't happened to me yet, but I can't say the same for my husband.
Recently he keeps asking me to cook things for him like chicken drumsticks, sausages, burgers ...etc., food that people enjoy eating when they're a lot younger.
Talking about this kind of food brings back memories of the days when our children were still in school. Every weekend they would get together with their friends.
Knowing these kids would always be hungry when they got here, I used to prepare simple and easy-to-cook but hugely popular treats like sausages, bolognaise, mini burgers and of course my special chicken drumsticks!
Before long, mums in school would stop me and asked for recipe. It was because their children would go home and request," Please can we have chicken drumsticks like the ones Jane did for us?"
According to them, their children would never have any meat or fish off the bone, always preferring boneless chicken nuggets or fish fingers.
I'm happy to say, I was the woman introducing chicken drumsticks to school children long before Jamie Oliver!
To keep up with our present plan of healthy eating. Without letting my husband know, I removed the skins from the chicken before putting them in the marinade then roast.
Serving them with rice and vegetable makes a really nice change.
Put the marinade in a small pan, simmer gently over a low heat for 1-2 minutes, pour into a big bowl. Preheat oven to 200C / fan 180C / Gas 6. Line a shallow roasting tin with foil or baking paper.
Mix the drumsticks well in the big bowl with the marinade, put them in the roasting tin. Place in the oven and roast for a total of 25 minutes until cooked.
Do you know what? My husband didn't even notice any difference of these drumsticks if I didn't tell him.
Hahaha, your husband is so cute..so now he likes kid's food huh, this skinless drumstick feel less guilty when enjoying them ..
I drool over your beautiful photos every time I see them. Can't wait to look through all the pages in your new book!!
