Delicious Asian Glazed Drumsticks Recipe

Enjoy these finger-lickin’ good Asian-inspired chicken drumsticks! Lighten up the dish by removing the skin, but savour all the flavours! This recipe is a hit with my husband and pairs well with dishes like Sweet ‘n Spicy Asian Glazed Grilled Drumsticks and Honey Teriyaki Drumsticks.

 

These delectable drumsticks strike a perfect balance between sweet and spicy with the kick from Sriracha hot sauce and the touch of honey. I love serving this Asian-glazed chicken alongside steamed broccoli and brown rice for a healthy and satisfying meal. Don’t forget to drizzle the leftover sauce over the chicken and veggies for added flavour.

This marinade is versatile and would also complement chicken thighs or wings, though boneless chicken breasts are not recommended as they may become tough and dry.

Prepare these flavorful drumsticks by searing the chicken on the stove before adding the liquid ingredients, garlic, and ginger, bringing it to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes, then increase the heat to allow the sauce to thicken and reduce. Plate the chicken, and top it with chives and sesame seeds for an enticing presentation.
