    1 Trim drumsticks of visible fat. Make several deep slashes in the fleshy end of each stick. Place in a non-metallic bowl. In a separate small bowl mix marinade ingredients together. Coat drumsticks. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

    2 When ready to cook, place drumsticks on a heated barbecue or under a grill and cook for 10-15 minutes until evenly cooked.

    3 To prepare couscous, place in a large bowl. Bring chicken stock to the boil in a small pan and pour over couscous. Cover with a lid and leave for 5 minutes.

    4 Fluff up couscous with a fork. Add remaining couscous ingredients and stir through. Garnish chicken with mint and serve with couscous and salad.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free steak sauce, tomato chutney and stock. Use rice instead of couscous.
