Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! In a baking dish, combine chicken drumsticks, Louisiana spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes. • Remove dish from oven, discard foil, then add BBQ sauce and sriracha. Turn drumsticks to coat and spoon over any juices. • Bake, uncovered, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, a further 20-25 minutes.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly, this adds flavour to the dish!
• When the drumsticks have 20 minutes remaining, place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
Little cooks: Kids can help with tossing the pumpkin.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice pear. • When drumsticks have 5 minutes remaining, combine slaw mix, pear, smokey aioli and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Take the lead by combining the ingredients for the slaw!
• Divide pear slaw, BBQ and sriracha chicken drumsticks and roast pumpkin between plates. • Spoon over any remaining sauce from the baking dish to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: The Louisiana spice mix adds a kick that some found too spicy for kids; consider reducing the amount for milder taste.
- Ease of prep: Drumsticks were easy to prepare and cooked perfectly in the oven, though some found the long cooking time inconvenient.
- Suggestions: For crispier results, try cutting the pumpkin into larger pieces or pan-frying instead of roasting.
- Portions: Consider adding extra vegetables or potatoes to balance out the pumpkin for a more varied plate.
