Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Using a sharp knife, cut 4 slashes into each drumstick, then toss in the fajita seasoning until evenly coated.
  2. Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 40-45 mins until the skin is golden and crisp and the drumsticks are cooked through.
  3. Toss the cabbage, carrots, onion and lemon juice together until the veg are evenly coated and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the rice to pack instructions, then fold through half the coriander.
  4. When ready to serve, mix the soured cream through the slaw. Serve the chicken drumsticks alongside the rice and slaw, garnished with the remaining coriander.
