Ingredients

6 Chicken Drumsticks

1 tbsp Natural Yoghurt

1 tbsp Harissa Paste

1 tbsp Runny Honey

1/2 Lemon, zest only

1/2 bunch Fresh Parsley, leaves picked

1/2 bunch Fresh Coriander, leaves picked

1/2 Lemon, zest and juice

1 Garlic Clove, sliced

4 tbsp Olive Oil

1/2 Green Chilli, sliced or pinch Chilli Flakes (optional)

3 tbsp Natural Yoghurt

1 Garlic Clove, finely chopped

1/2 Lemon

1 tsp Harissa

Method

1
Put the chicken, yoghurt, harissa, honey and lemon zest into a bowl, season then mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, or up to 24 hours.
2
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/gas 6 then place the drumsticks on a small baking tray, pouring over any leftover marinade. Cook for 30–35 mins until sticky and nicely coloured, turning once or twice.
3
Place the parsley, coriander, lemon zest and juice, garlic, oil, chilli (if using), salt and pepper into a small food processor or blender and whizz until you have a smooth green sauce.
4
In a small bowl, make the harissa dip by mixing the yoghurt and garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add lemon zest and a squeeze of the juice. Use a teaspoon to ripple through the harissa.
5
5 Serve the chicken drumsticks hot or cold, with a scattering of lemon zest over the top and dips on the side.
