1. Trim drumsticks of visible fat. Make several deep slashes in the fleshy end of each. Place drumsticks in a non-metallic bowl.
2. In a separate small bowl combine all marinade ingredients. Coat drumsticks. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
3. Preheat oven to 190°C. Place marinated drumsticks on a non-stick baking tray with 2 tablespoons of water and cook for 30-40 minutes. (Alternatively, you could cook these on a barbecue.)
4. Meanwhile, rinse quinoa under running water. In a large pot combine quinoa and stock. Cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until all liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly then add spring onion, peppadews, walnuts and mint. Mix to combine.
5. In a separate bowl combine all salsa ingredients.
6. When chicken is cooked through, serve with quinoa salad and salsa. Garnish with lemon and mint.
