Our $10 family meals under $10 continue to help get you through the winter nights and hungry hoards on the cheap. Warm up with Mexican Spiced Chicken Drumsticks.

INGREDIENTS
1.2kg Coles Australian RSPCA approved chicken drumsticks.
40g pkt Coles Mexican seasoning.
2 cups (400g) Coles long grain white rice.
1 tablespoon olive oil.
1 red onion, thinly sliced.
1 1/2 teaspoons Coles whole cumin seeds.
420g can Coles corn kernels, drained.
400g can Coles red kidney beans, rinsed, drained.

METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 200C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Combine the chicken drumsticks and seasoning in a sealable plastic bag. Shake to coat. Remove the chicken from the bag and place in a single layer on the lined tray. Bake, turning occasionally, for 35 minutes or until cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, cook the rice in a large saucepan of boiling water for 12 minutes or until tender. Drain.
3. Return the saucepan to the heat with the oil. Add the onion and cumin and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until the onion softens. Return the rice to the pan with the corn and beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is heated through.
4. Serve the chicken drumsticks with the rice mixture.
