Sweet and spicy chicken drumsticks with a hint of garlic and ginger. Perfect for a casual get-together!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs (907 g) chicken drumsticks
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cups (118 ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 0.25 cups (59 ml) honey
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1.5 tsp chili powder
  • 2.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cups (237 ml) chicken stock
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Beat all ingredients except chicken drumsticks in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for 8-12 hours.
  2. Place a large frying pan on the stove and heat to medium.
  3. Separate chicken drumsticks into three batches.
  4. Brown the first batch on all sides. Add 80 ml (approximately 1/3 cup) of chicken stock and lower the heat.
  5. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until chicken stock dries and chicken is tender and glazed.
  6. Turn drumsticks for 1-2 minutes on medium heat to even the color.
  7. Repeat with the remaining two batches.
  8. Allow chicken to rest before serving.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours.
  • To prevent burning, use a thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week and used as a glaze for other dishes.
