Part of what made these drumsticks so amazing was that the meat under the sweet and sticky skin was so flavorful and juicy.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic (smashed)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a large zip-top bag, combine vinegars, honey, brown sugar, chili sauce, garlic, soy sauce, marmalade, salt and pepper. Add in drumsticks, seal bag and toss to coat. Stash bag in fridge for 2-3 hours (or overnight) to marinate. Rotating bag occasionally.
  2. 2When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375°F. Cover a baking sheet in aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Remove drumsticks from bag and lay on baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until juices run clear.
  3. 3Meanwhile, pour remaining marinade into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until marinade is thick.
  4. 4When drumsticks are finished cooking, preheat broiler. Using a pastry brush, coat drumsticks in reduced marinade. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until browned and sticky. Flip and repeat with other side.
  5. 5Before serving, sprinkle drumsticks with sesame seeds and cilantro.
