Char siew is actually barbecued pork which is sweet, sticky and fragrant.
When I was at the market today I found another brand of char siew sauce which I
want to try. Since I don’t have any pork belly in the freezer I am using
chicken drumsticks instead. What’s the verdict? It is very good and much better
than other brands that I have used before. I like to use prepacked sauces
because when I live overseas I can still cook these dishes when it may be
difficult to get the right ingredients to make the sauces.
Ingredients
6 chicken drumsticks
This is the brand that I just
found in the market. It is manufactured in Klang (my home town) which is why I am
excited to try it out. The cooking instruction says to cook in the wok but I am
cooking it in the air fryer instead.
Pull the skin back and
make a slit on both sides of the flesh
This is so that the marinate
can coat the meat under the skin
It also helps the chicken
to cook faster and evenly
Pour the char siew sauce
onto the chicken and mix thoroughly
Leave to marinate for 3
hours or overnight
Heat up the air fryer for
1 minute
Put the chicken into the
fryer (remember to pull the skin to cover the meat)
Set the timer for 20
minutes
Turn the chicken over
after 10 minutes
Brush more marinate on the
chicken
Check if the chicken is
completely cooked by pushing a chopstick into the thickest part of the
drumstick
Cook a little longer if
necessary
Dish up and serve as a
side dish or with salad as a main meal
