Sticky Chicken Drumsticks in Chinese Plum Sauce

Instructions

Place Marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag (or bowl) and mix. Add chicken and massage to coat in the Marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour (see Note 3 for skipping this).
Preheat oven to 180C/350F (all types).
Line a tray with baking paper / parchment paper (or foil then spray with oil).
Transfer chicken to tray, shaking off excess marinade. RESERVE Marinade.
Bake chicken for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven. Spoon / slather / brush with reserve marinade (generously!) (Note 4). Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and TURN chicken. Baste again using tray juices and reserved marinade. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and baste again (very generously!) using tray juices and reserved marinade. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove chicken from oven and scrape/brush tray juices onto chicken (don't waste free flavour!).
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and shallots/scallions if using. I served it with rice and steamed broccolini.
