What ingredients do I need for these chicken drumsticks?
You only need a few simple ingredients to make these drumsticks, and if you make stir fry recipes a lot like I do, you will certainly have all the items in your pantry already.
500gm chicken drumsticks
1 cup honey
1/1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 drops sesame oil
3 garlic cloves
1 nob ginger
pinch salt and pepper
2 length spring onions
toasted sesame seeds (optional)
The preparation of this recipe could not be easier, either – just dice up the garlic and ginger, mix with the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings, then coat the chicken and marinate. Bake, baste, and enjoy!
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper, taste and place in a Ziploc bag or a large bowl; pour the liquid mixture over all the pieces. Seal the bag or cover bowl with glad wrap, removing as much air as possible and marinade in the refrigerator for at least two hours (preferably overnight.) Do not discard the marinade!
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Lay chicken on a foil or baking paper/ parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 25 minutes (basting every 10 minutes with the marinade) or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 75 Celsius
Sprinkle some sesame seeds and scallions on top and serve with rice, salad or just on its own.
