I headed to Burlington's to collect the necessarily goods - chicken drumsticks, garlic, chili and spring onions. Total cost $7.50. Included in that $7.50 was a bag of about 30 birds eye chilies which I made G taste test for potency....quite potent in conclusion.
After frying off the drumsticks a bit I added them to a pot of water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and chili and simmered the lot for about an hour and a half.
After that time the drumsticks were very, very, very salty (I added some salt) but went down pretty well. Fortunately, over the years, through various bad behaviours, G and I have both decommissioned our taste-buds so managed to choke dinner down. If anyone else was over for dinner I would have been mighty apologetic.
The chili has left a satisfying numbness on my lips.

I thought dinner was pretty good - I like chicken drumsticks.
Biggs and I both know that if you add something correctly seasoned to something bland you end up with bland. Cleverly Biggs added something really salty (soy chicken) to something bland (plain rice) for a perfectly salty result.
