Ingredient notes:
- Chicken: This is a great recipe to use family-friendly, affordable chicken drumsticks. You could also use chicken thighs if you like.
- Rice: I use sushi rice in this recipe to compliment the teriyaki chicken. You could use basmati or jasmine rice if you prefer.
- Edamame Beans: These can be found in the frozen vegetable section of most major supermarkets.

Step by step instructions:
Combine the marinade ingredients in a large container, add the chicken drumsticks and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake. Add the rice to a large baking dish. Dissolve the stock cube in a jug with the boiling water, then pour into the baking dish and mix with the rice.
Place the chicken drumsticks on top of the rice and pour over any extra marinade. Cover tightly with tin foil or a lid. Bake for 25 minutes covered, then cook uncovered for a further 20 minutes.
Remove the drumsticks and stir the edamame beans and half of the spring onion through the rice.
Place the drumsticks back on top and cook for another 10 minutes uncovered until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Garnish with the rest of the spring onion and sesame seeds then serve immediately.
Recipe FAQs:
This recipe contains soy sauce, which is not naturally gluten free. Also some brands of stock cubes contain gluten. If you use a gluten free substitute for these items then the meal would be gluten free.
This meal was inspired by Japanese cooking. Teriyaki chicken, edamame beans and sushi rice all go together so well. I highly recommend you try this with sushi rice! Feel free to substitute it for your favourite white rice if you prefer.
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or in microwave until piping hot.
Top tips:
- Chicken drumsticks can be swapped for chicken thighs or breasts - baking time may vary.

Delicious! My 2 very picky kids loved this one (and I loved how easy it was to whip up!) I subbed rice wine vinegar for the apple cider vinegar, added a splash of dark soy sauce & popped in some fresh garlic and ginger. Divine!
