Serves 4

Preparation: 15 minutes + 30 minutes to marinate

Cooking: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • · 8 chicken drumsticks
  • · ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • · Cooking oil spray
  • · 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • · 500g pumpkin, peeled, cut into 1cm cubes
  • · 200g green beans, trimmed

  • · 1 medium red onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • · 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • · 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 3 teaspoons sesame oil
  • · ½ cup chopped coriander leaves

Method:

  1. Combine chicken and hoisin sauce in a large glass bowl. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Cover a baking tray with foil; grease foil with spray. Arrange chicken on prepared tray (reserve and sauce in bowl). Bake for 30 minutes, rushing occasionally with reserved sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds; bake for a further 10 minutes or until cooked and sticky.
  3. Meanwhile, place pumpkin in a streaming basket over a saucepan of simmering water. Steam for 7 minutes. Add beans and corn; steam for 2-3 minutes more or until vegies are tender and beans bright green. Refresh under cold running water. Drain well. Transfer vegies to a large bowl; add onion, garlic, soy sauce, oil and coriander. Season with salt; toss to combine.
  4. Spoon salad onto plates; top with chicken.
