Glazed Asian Drumsticks
Adapted from Asian Glazed Drumsticks at SkinnytastePrintable Recipe
8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed
Non-stick cooking spray or 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce*
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated**
2 tablespoons chives or green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
*You can find Sriracha Sauce at most grocery stores and at Walmart.
** Tip - you can keep whole pieces of ginger frozen. Simple peel away the skin and grate. Place remaining ginger back in the freezer for next time!
Spray a large, heavy saucepan with non-stick spray or add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place over medium high heat. Brown chicken legs for about 10 minutes, turning to brown all sides.
Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, sugar, 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 back to medium high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 10-15 minutes, or until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occasionally. Be careful that the glaze doesn't burn during this last step.
Transfer chicken to a platter and top with remaining glaze from pan. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions and sesame seeds.
They look great Susan! Love that the skin is removed and I'm sure they're loaded with flavor too:@)
ReplyDeleteFabulous recipe - bookmarked - these are going to be a hit!

Wish I had this recipe yesterday. I made drumsticks and they were just okay. I even searched "gooey" drumstick recipes for something that looked good. We aren't fans of dark meat but I got a great price and bought two packages.
ReplyDeletePulling that skin off is lots of fun, isn't it! My dear friend made me laugh when she said, there won't be any need the skin chicken in heaven :)
Your recipe looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
One of the first meals I ever made for J..at the age of 19..were asian chicken wings w/ VH sauce..do u have that sauce in the USA?
ReplyDeleteYou brought back a flood of memories..
The ings all are perfect..and the photo makes my mouth water~
Finger licking good it all looks Susan..:)
I can tell by just looking at the photo that it's going to be good! I discovered that ginger would keep in the freezer a few months ago. It has been a real boon to not have to run to the market for fresh ginger so often.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Oh these look so tasty. Yum! Bonnie
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is very good...I found them to be much better without that skin! Thanks for showing us how to make them tasty! Have a delicious evening! Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh that does look delicious. It would make giving up the skin a bit easier.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy and one I will definately try! And your photos are wonderful! My mouth is salivating just browsing the page!
ReplyDeleteMmm, that looks delicious! We eat sooo much chicken-I'm always looking for new recipes. I have to make this one and I have all the ingredients in the house. Yum!
ReplyDelete-Lynn
Se ve delicioso y definitivamente tentador,me encanta,abrazos hugs,hugs.
ReplyDeletePerfect Super Bowl treats! I love sticky wings or thighs! Bookmarking this one.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let me know what you make out of Mozza. I think there's lots of great recipes in there.
Looks so yummy.....and you display it so beautifully
ReplyDeleteDelicious chicken thighs. I usually buy the skinless/boneless ones, so I will give this a try. xo
ReplyDeleteEasy to make and delivering great flavor! I will use it next week when i cook chicken! Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI imagine that these must taste wonderful - because I could also imagine how good they'd smell!
ReplyDeleteI pinned that one and will be buying drumsticks today. With those ingredients, it has to be good.
ReplyDeleteLove you tip about the ginger; didn't know that.
Rita
They look delicious, love those flavors. Will be making this one soon! Great tip.
ReplyDeleteThey sound delicious and I really like your presentation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dish, Susan. I'm craving all those wonderful Asian flavors right now and this looks like it should be on the menu in my house this weekend. The leg meat absorbs flavors so nicely.
ReplyDeleteThey look fingerlicking! Simple and quick to make.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks wonderful. I have been looking for something like this for quite a while now. You must have read my mind! Thanks so much for solving my dinner dilemma for tonight.
ReplyDeleteThank you, all! I hope all of you who try it enjoy it as much as we did.
ReplyDeleteMonique, no, I haven't heard of VH sauce. I'll have to check for it the next time I'm at the store. I did Google it and I see there are many different types of VH sauce!
This lookm like saomehting I'd like to try for Super Bowl Sunday, Susan! What wonderful flavors!
ReplyDeleteWell, thess look yummy! I've never heard of Sriracha hot sauce nor have I ever even tried quinoa ....I'm so pedestrian & soooo in a rut with my cooking. Thanks for the inspiration to break out!
ReplyDeleteJust like LDH, I found them on sale & made chicken legs last week, too. B-O-R-I-N-G. Yours look MUCH better!
That does look good. I am in a glazy mood these days... lower fat is the kicker. This would be another great appetizer for a little party I'm doing next week. Num!
ReplyDeleteoh so yummy made chicken tonight wish I had seen this earlier
ReplyDeletecome see what I shared at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
The drumstick is still my favorite chicken part! These look so tasty, and I love that the skin is removed. The sauce sounds amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteThe stickier the better, Susan. And when done like this, who'd miss the skin? There's so much flavor in dark meat...I'm always amazed at holidays that anyone would prefer the breast to the leg. (Although I do eat white meat with my salad every lunch.)
ReplyDeleteThe drumsticks With this glaze look amazingly good! I appreciate a simple go to recipe like this one, thanks for passing it on ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am loving all of these chicken wing recipes I'm seeing all over blogs ... how am I going to choose which one sounds best? Great presentation.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat meat - but that sauce sounds absolutely delicious! ^^
ReplyDeletewow these look amazing :-) wish I could grab one
ReplyDeletelook yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That looks so good and I Love all the sides that went with it! sound like an amazing meal!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, these look so fantastic! My mouth is just watering. The sauce really looks rich. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and they are so pretty too. Love the balsamic vinegar and hot sauce together.
ReplyDeleteSam
Oh dooness...doesn't this look delicious? And with broccoli and quinoa...a delicious meal and just maybe a second helping this time?
ReplyDeleteRonelle
Very very tempting to me!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I'm drooling here. This looks so delicious. I'm thinking this would work just fine with the little chicken drummies. Super Bowl, maybe?
ReplyDeleteANOTHER one of your recipes going into my file..looks so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! Have not heard of Sriracha Sauce, will keep a look-out for this!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you could do these as wings too? Would you keep the skin on? They look awesome and I can't wait to try them, but might do them if you think they would work in wing form this weekend!
ReplyDeleteEmily, this would absolutely work with wings. Taking the skin off is only a fat and calorie saving measure. If you don't mind the extra calories go for it :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thanks so much!! I hope to make them this weekend and will blog about it if I do! Thanks for the comment!!
DeleteThe brown glaze makes this chicken dish incredibly enticing. This is a great way to welcome the lunar new year.
ReplyDeletewell, I may not be eating the chicken thighs but I would have no qualms about licking the sauce off them. Sounds so tasty!
ReplyDeleteI'am daydreaming about how amazing these must taste.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks wonderful,tasty and easy to make,thanks for sharing Susan!A warm hug from my cold, cold country!!!
ReplyDeleteYum! They look great. It's interesting that the recipe calls for balsamic vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar. I'm on the prowl for healthier recipes, so I'll try this glaze.
ReplyDeleteSusan, these drumsticks look awesome, like the Asian flavor...and so interesting with balsamic vinegar...love the color of it.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week ahead :)
It looks delicious, Susan! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteHey Susan, Reading your post, I'm thinking SB wings. Have you ever tried this sauce on them? It really looks like a delicious recipe on any cut. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteSusan these look absolutely delicious. I can hardly wait to try them. My husband will love them and so will I. Thanks for the great recipe.
ReplyDeleteAlso Thankyou for coming to my blog and leaving a comment and following me. It meant a great deal to me. I have been slow in getting back to each person. So please accept my apology.
Also you have so many fabulous recipes here on your blog. I just want to go and find them all. I am already following you and so glad I am.
Hugs,
Nann
Fantastic recipe - my girls will LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteMary x
Renee, I sent you an email. This was my first time trying this recipe so I haven't used it with wings yet but it should work great. When I make this again, I think I would make the sauce separately and little simmer until thickened and then use it to baste the drumsticks or wings. I think I would also double the sauce since it's so delicious. Thanks again, everyone for the kind somments!
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic and I am sure they were flavor pact with all those lovely yummy flavor from Sriracha, garlic, ginger, sugar.
ReplyDeleteI love fried chicken drumsticks. What can I say? I'm a Southern girl! However, I know they really aren't that healthy. These look like they would be really flavorful, and I love Asian food anyway. Thanks for coming to my party again this week and sharing this great recipe with us!
ReplyDeleteWow! This sounds so good. So many great recipes on your blog. I am a new follower. Patsy
ReplyDeleteThese drumsticks look fantastic! They would be perfect for the Super Bowl parties this weekend! I'd love if you would drop by and link up to my Super Bowl Eats and Treats Party!

Lovely dish. The sauce looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThese drumsticks look absolutely mouthwatering! So well cooked and covered with the sauce seems like no one can resist them!
ReplyDeleteI know what I'm doing with the chicken drums in my freezer! Those looks amazing. I always de-skin my chicken too so I love the glaze on them.
ReplyDeleteI love the sauce, sticky and gooey. I could go for these for dinner.
