Asian Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

SLOW COOKER ASIAN GLAZED DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Place drumsticks in a 6.5-quart, or larger, slow cooker; set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, sriracha and ground ginger.
• Pour soy sauce mixture over the chicken drumsticks and gently toss to coat.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. Chicken is cooked through when internal temperature register at 165˚F.
• If you'd like to thicken the sauce, make a slurry about 15 minutes before the chicken is done: in a small bowl or cup, whisk together water and cornstarch.
• Remove cover from slow cooker and stir the slurry into the sauce; recover and cook on HIGH heat for 10 to 12 more minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
• Serve drumsticks with sauce and top with sesame seeds and cilantro.

STICKY HONEY SOY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Put the chicken into a large zipper-lock bag (27cm x 33 cm/10.6 inch x 13 inch) and add the sauce. Seal the bag and vigorously shake the bag and massage the chicken so that the sauce smears well onto the chicken. Marinate it for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. (I marinated mine for 4 hrs. Overnight works well too!)
• Preheat an oven at 240 C/ 464 F (on the fan forced setting) for 20 mins. Take the chicken out from the fridge. Lay down some baking paper on the oven tray and line up the chicken. Make sure they are not stacked up on top of each other. Alternatively, you can use an oven safe pot and put the chicken in and the marinade. (This is explained above. They result in slightly different outcomes.)
• Put the tray/pot into the oven and bake it at 240 C/ 464 F for 12 mins. Take the tray/pot out and turn the chicken over and put it back into the oven. Bake it a further 12 mins or until the chicken is fully cooked. Garnish with the sesame seeds and green onion. Serve.

ASIAN GLAZED DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil.
• Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes.
• Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes thick, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it start becoming thick).
• Transfer chicken to a platter and pour sauce on top.
• Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.

KOREAN GLAZED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees.
• In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the sesame oil and cornstarch.
• Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes.
• Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thick.
• Spray a 4 sided baking sheet or 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the drumsticks out on the pan and brush with the bbq sauce.
• Bake in the 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes.
• Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds
