Honey and Garlic Chicken | Slimming World Recipes (1)

Here in Canada Honey and Garlic Chicken wings are a big thing in the bars and restaurants, but chicken wings can be pretty tough to remove the skin from and once you do, there isn't actually much left on them to eat. So I like to opt for drumsticks, the skin is really easy to remove, and because the bone is intact, the chicken stays nice and moist with lovely flavour.

If you struggle to remove the skin from drumsticks, a little tip is to use some kitchen roll to hold the chicken, and then using another piece, grab the skin and in a quick pull, it should come off nice and easy.
