  3. Place the chicken drumsticks in a dish (or use a ziplock bag), cover with the yoghurt and rub it all around the chicken to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours.

  4. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 240c or 475f (gas mark 9)

  5. Place the chicken on a wire rack in a roasting tin and spray with some spray oil. (reserve whatever is left of the yoghurt mixture)

  6. Bake chicken for approx 30 mins (chicken should be charred on edges and cooked through, taking out half way through and basting in some more of the yoghurt mixture and spraying with some more spray oil.
