RECIPE - Sweet & Savory Drumsticks
Ingredients
- 8 drumsticks, skin peeled off
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons sherry cooking wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dry ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon dry ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced thinly
Directions
1. If needed, peel the skin off of fresh drumsticks. I find that using a paper towel to better grasp the skin helps make the process much faster. Season all sides of the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Using a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, mustard, sherry, lemon juice, vinegar, dry mustard and ginger, red pepper flakes and minced garlic.
3. Whisk ingredients together and bring the mixture to a low boil.
4. Add the seasoned drumsticks and let them simmer in the sauce. Cover the pan and flip the chicken to the other side after about 15 minutes.
5. Once both sides have browned, turn the heat up and remove the cover. Flip the chicken every few minutes until the sauce has thicken.
6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with the chopped green onions.
7. Serve with some white rice and a seasonal salad for an easy and delicious meal. Enjoy!
