Marinating these drumsticks at least a couple of hours before cooking is key to their rich flavour.
Ingredients:
- 8 chicken drumsticks, bone-in, skin on
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp hot sauce
Directions:
- Combine soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar and hot sauce in a small bowl.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a slit on either side of each chicken drumstick.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 the sauce with the chicken. Reserve other 1/2 of the sauce for later.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight. Occasionally stir to coat the chicken.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil (sauce that falls on the sheet will burn so this will prevent the pan from being destroyed).
- Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Cook for 20 minutes.
- Turn the drumsticks over and spoon remaining sauce over. Bake for another 25 minutes.
