Asian Chicken Drumsticks

The Wholesome Spoon

I love making drumsticks because they're easy and delicious! Plus, my kids love them and they're usually relatively cheap to buy in bulk! These Asian Chicken Drumsticks totally gave that Asian vibe that I was going for! I love the unique flavor of them, and the garnishes really took these to the next level! They made a great midday snack for us!

Equipment

Ingredients

6 chicken drumsticks
5 garlic cloves minced
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp ground ginger
Pinch of cayenne

Optional garnishes:

1 tsp sesame seeds
1 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, preheat oven to 425 ℉
In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients together besides sesame oil, garnishes, and drumsticks. Whisk until mixture is thick.
In a large skillet, heat sesame oil on medium, brown drumsticks 2-5 minutes, turning frequently with a tong. We're just trying to get a little golden-brown color on these before we bake them.
Toss drumsticks in sauce, coating generously.
Bake 30 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing more of the sauce on.
Broil for 5 minutes on high on the middle rack.
Serve Asian Chicken Drumsticks with sesame seeds and green onion as a garnish!
