Ingredients

12 chicken drumsticks, skin removed

1/2 cup ketjap manis

1/3 cup oyster sauce

1 tablespoon grated ginger

2 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

3 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally

1 medium carrot, cut into matchsticks

Method

1.Using a sharp knife, score thickest part of chicken in a crisscross pattern 1cm apart. Place chicken in a medium bowl. Combine ketjap manis, oyster sauce, ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add half the marinade to chicken; toss to coat. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill for 30 minutes to marinate.

2.Preheat barbecue grill to moderate. Cook and turn chicken, basting regularly with remaining marinade for 10-15 minutes or until cooked. Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve topped with onion and carrot.

For maximum flavour, marinate chicken a day ahead; keep covered in the fridge.
