    Ingredients for chicken drumsticks recipe
    1. Chicken drumsticks - Use chicken legs without skin. For me, it works best for this recipe.
    2. Green onions: Cut away the roots, wash the green and white stalks and roughly chop them. The green onions give a unique flavour to this recipe. You can also garnish with this before serving. I would not recommend replacing them with other onions.
    3. Garlic: Feel free to use garlic paste if you like it. But prefer fresh if you have.
    4. Sauce: Combine equal portions of soy sauce and tomato ketchup in a small mixing bowl. This sauce imparts a unique taste and colour to the chicken drumsticks.
    5. Spices: I use salt and pepper only.

    Some tips n tricks

    1. Sauté garlic and green onions before adding chicken drums. It will enhance the taste of chicken drumsticks.
    2. You can vary the proportion of sauce according to your taste.
    3. Add a little amount of salt as soy sauce also contains salt. It's better to add more later rather than ruin the recipe.
    4. If you like thick consistency, add less quantity of water.
    5. Replacing green onions with other onions will not bring their unique flavour. I highly recommend the use of green onions.
