Tips
- Chicken lovely legs are drumsticks with skin and lower part of the bone removed. They’re available from major supermarkets and chicken shops. If preferred, you can substitute 850 g skinless chicken thigh fillets (fat trimmed)
- If you’re not a fan of chilli, replace chilli paste with wholegrain mustard.
