5. Transfer the drumsticks to a baking tray and roast in thhe preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, basting occasionally with the marinade.
6. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the shiitake rice. Cook the rice according to packet instructions.

8. Stir in the shiitake mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to brown.
9. Add the cooked rice and cook for 1 minutes, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and onion mixture.
10. Pour in the stock and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
