I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Buffalo Drumsticks.


Buffalo Drumsticks.

This is my take on the more famous Buffalo Wings. It's spicy, sweet and delicious. A perfect lunch treat with a fresh salad.

In a saucepan, put in
-50g hot sauce,
-50g tomato ketchup,
-30g butter,
-1tbsp golden syrup,
-1tbsp paprika,
-1tbsp cayenne pepper,
-1tsp black pepper,
-1tsp sea salt,
-1tbsp dried garlic,
-1tbsp onion granules,

Cook, stirring on low heat until the butter has melted.
Spoon into a heatproof bowl and leave to cool completely.

When the marinade has cooled, put in
-500g free range chicken drumsticks, score the flesh, add
-50g plain flour.
Coat the chicken in the marinade.
Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Deep fry or bake in 210c fan forced oven. I cooked mine in the AirFryer at 180c for 30 minutes.
