Method

  1. Put the drumsticks in a large bowl with the jerk seasoning, spices, salt and BBQ sauce. Mix well, cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 mins. Preheat the oven to gas 9, 240°C, fan 220°C. Put the chicken on a baking tray, discarding any leftover marinade, and cook for 30 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, put the chutney ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil for 2 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Pulse in a food processor until smooth, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Heat the barbecue until the flames die down and the coals are white and ashy, or heat a griddle pan until smoking. Cook the drumsticks in batches for 15 mins, turning every so often. Set aside and cover with foil while you cook the rest. Serve with 1 tbsp chutney.
