Consists of 1.25kg of chicken drumsticks, marinated overnight in buttermilk (with maple syrup, cumin, salt and pepper), then baked in a hot oven. The chicken was juicy and very tender but not particularly flavoursome. I found it necessary to add quite a bit of extra seasoning. A nice accompaniment to the 'New Orleans Coleslaw' (p. 277).

I really liked these. The ingredients gave the chicken a nice, gentle flavour. These can be eaten hot or cold and I can imagine them being a good thing to take to a picnic, as Nigella did in the episode of the show in which she made them. In fact, that's probably what they're perfect for.
