Method
1. Mix together the ricotta, garlic, herbs and breadcrumbs. Season well with plenty of salt and pepper.
2. Carefully loosen the skin from each drumstick and spoon a little of the herb stuffing under each, smoothing the skin back over firmly.
3. Wrap a bacon rasher tightly around the wide end of each drumstick, to hold the skin in place over the stuffing during the cooking time.
4. Mix together the mustard and, oil and brush them over the chicken. Cook on a medium-hot barbecue for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally.
