Ingredients (makes 12 drumsticks)

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 Cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 12 chicken drumsticks

Method

  1. Pour marinade ingredients into a container with tight sealing lid. Add drumsticks and turn container over several times to coat the chicken. Refrigerate for at least two hours.
  2. Preheat oven 180 degrees. Put the drumsticks on tray so they are not touching. Reserve the marinade.
  3. Bake until drumsticks are dark brown in spots and slightly caramelized.
  4. Pour the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook 15 minutes. Brush the chicken with the marinade, return to oven for 5 minutes.

Notes

Serve with plain or fried rice.

  • I’ve got to admit I don’t like drumsticks much – a lot of fiddling around compared to the amount of meat you get. However, I can see the value of a recipe that uses them up – and I imagine this marinade could be used on other chicken pieces, like breast pieces.
