Ingredients
  • 3 big chicken drumsticks 
  • 1 packet of Cravins Char Siew Sauce 
  • 1 tbsp of chinese cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp of oyster sauce 
  • 1 cucumber (sliced) 
  • 1 tomato (sliced) 
  • 2 cups of jasmine rice 
  • 1.8-2 cups of chicken stock (depending on how you want your rice to be) 
  • 3 stalks of pandan leaves (tear and tied in knot)
  • 1 thumb size ginger (sliced) 
  • 6-8 cloves of garlic with skin (wash and smashed) 
Method
  1. Add 2 tbsp of salt to chicken drumsticks. Rub all over drumsticks to remove smell and scums. Rinsed away salt and pat dry. Use a fork to poke all over drumsticks. This will help the marinate to penetrate into the meat. 
  2. Mix marinate in a bowl. Place chicken into a ziplock bag and pour in the marinate. Seal bag and massage to ensure chicken is well coated with marinate. Chill overnight or at least 4 hours. 
  3. Remove chicken from fridge 30 mins before cooking. Preheat oven at 180 deg. Place chicken on baking dish without the marinate. Keep the marinate to baste the chicken while grilling. 
  4. Grill chicken for 30-40mins at the lowest rack, flip once in between and baste with the marinate. 
  5. Increase to 210 degrees to brown the chicken. Mix 2 tbsp of honey with 1 tbsp of water. Brush on chicken. Shift chicken to higher rack. Brown for about 10-15mins. Remove chicken when done. Let it rest for 5 mins before chopping to smaller pieces of serve as a whole with chicken rice and blanched vegetables. (** Chicken is done when you poke through with a chopstick and there is no blood in juice from chicken.) 
Note: Oven temp varies so you have to gauge your own oven when grilling chicken. 

Chicken rice: 
Wash 2 cups of jasmine rice. Add homemade chicken stock, pandan leaves, sliced ginger and smashed garlic. Add about 1 tbsp of salt. Mixed well and cook rice as per normal in rice cooker.
