Combine all of the marinade ingredients. Score the chicken drumsticks, to help the marinade
Penetrate the meat and mix together in a bowl. Cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
To make your dipping sauce, process all dipping sauce ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Taste and season as needed.
Use a mandolin or a vegetable peeler to cut your cucumbers into ribbons. Combine with the shallots, coriander, dill and mint. Mash the ginger and garlic together in a mortar and pestle. Add sesame oil and vinegar and pour over the salad. Toss well, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Remove any excess marinade from the drumsticks. Remember it’s better to cook them at room temperature. Brush with olive oil and barbeque them over a high heat until cooked through. Keep turning regularly to ensure they’re evenly cooked.

Tip: Serve with some wholemeal naan or pita — and don’t forget the spicy dipping sauce!
