We love juicy, tender oven-roasted chicken drumsticks at our house. This recipe combines classic Portuguese flavours -- paprika, garlic, lemon, oregano and, of course, piri piri sauce -- with the fun of eating meat right off the bone. The must-have ingredient, piri piri sauce, is a hot sauce made from bird's eye chilis. It adds an exciting "zip" to the dish but it's not one of those scary hot sauces that hurts to eat. It's delicious! And goes great with roasted potatoes or rice.
Cooking time: About one hour.
