These drumsticks come pre-marinated in a Thai chilli style seasoning, bringing a sweet-heat profile that's a change of pace from the more familiar tandoori or curry-spiced chicken found in most UAE kitchens. The marinade suits grilling, air-frying, or oven roasting equally well, and the natural sugars in the seasoning mean it caramelises nicely on the outside if you finish it under high heat for the last few minutes. Serve alongside jasmine rice and a quick cucumber salad, or shred the meat off the bone for a fusion wrap with fresh herbs and chilli mayo.

Because the marinade contains sugar, keep an eye on the heat once you're browning the skin, since it can catch and burn faster than a plain spice rub would. Bone-in drumsticks take a little longer to cook through than boneless cuts, so check near the bone rather than relying on the surface colour alone, and let the juices run clear before serving. If you're cooking for later in the week, keep the marinated drumsticks refrigerated and use within a couple of days, or freeze them flat so they thaw evenly.
