1. Place all the spices into a piece of muslin and tie together so they are secure.

2. Pour the oil into a medium-size pan, then add the peppers, onions, garlic, ginger, cayenne, paprika, salt, all the ground spices and the muslin bag. Cook on a medium heat, lid-on, for approximately 20 mins, until it has softened, and then add the tomatoes and Tabasco®. Cook for a further 15-20 mins.

3. Add the tomato paste, honey, lime juice, Coca-Cola, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and white wine vinegar, then reduce this on a medium heat until it becomes thick and jammy.

4. Remove the spice bag (this can be discarded), then transfer the marinade to a blender and purée til smooth. Pass the marinade through a fine sieve, then leave to cool.

To marinate and cook

5. Put the chicken drumsticks in a shallow dish. Pour over the marinade, making sure all the drumsticks are coated. Turn occasionally.

ketchup, if you like.
