The only way to prepare chicken drumsticks for the bbq is to poach them gently first. This way, the chicken is guaranteed to be cooked. Then all you need to do is to finish them off on the grill. The spicy peanut sauce is delicious with the chicken. Make it up and keep it in the saucepan, leave it to cool at the side of the bbq

- To make the sauce heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan, add the onions and garlic. Cook for 15 mins to soften.
