Vinegar is one of the best marinade ingredients because it tenderises meat and gives it a fresh, slightly tangy flavour. Combined with honey, it creates the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
Ingredients (serves 4)
8 chicken drumsticks
4 tablespoons Kisko apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
salt and pepper.
Method
In a bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, finely chopped garlic, olive oil and paprika. Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper, pour over the marinade and leave in the fridge for at least two hours, ideally overnight.

Arrange the drumsticks in a baking dish and roast at 200 °C for about 40 minutes. Baste them with the marinade from the dish every 10 minutes to get a glossy, caramelised crust.
Tip
Simmer the leftover marinade for a few minutes until it thickens and serve it as a sauce with the chicken. It goes perfectly with mashed potatoes or rice.
