Honey Soy Drumettes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves, in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and the brown sugar. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the chicken drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil (in order to kill bacteria). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Reserve.
• Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.
• Cook's note: I like the rosemary and garlic flavors in the background. Brushing the cooked drumettes with the reduced marinade helps the flavors along. Also, re-moistening helps the parsley and the seeds to adhere.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix through drumettes. Leave to marinade for 10 minutes.
• Line the drumettes on a baking tray and cook for 20 minutes. (Drumsticks take a little more cooking time).
• Sprinkle with seasame seeds, if desired.

Steps:

• In 12x8-inch (2-quart) baking dish, combine honey, soy sauce, chili sauce, hot pepper sauce, ginger and dry mustard; mix well. Add drumettes; turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour to marinate.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover dish. Bake chicken in marinade at 375°F. for 45 to 60 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink next to bone, brushing with marinade occasionally.
