Preparation
Step 1
Cut deep incisions into the chicken flesh with a small, sharp knife. Place the chicken into a bowl and sprinkle over the salt and the juice of two lemons, massaging into the chicken until well coated.
Step 2
Mix the yoghurt and tandoori spice in a bowl until well combined. Pour the marinade onto the chicken and massage into the flesh. Cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours - or overnight if possible.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to high.
Step 4
Lift the drumsticks from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Place a wire rack over a roasting tin and lay the drumsticks upon it. Grill for 20 minutes, turning regularly, or until richly burnished and cooked through.
You can make a simple dip to serve with the chicken by blending together 3-4 tablespoons of plain yoghurt with 5 springs of fresh mint, 1 green chilli and a pinch each of salt and sugar.
