Italian Chicken Drumsticks 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:

• Position an oven rack on the lowest shelf and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the breadcrumbs, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Put the drumsticks in a large bowl and toss to coat with 1 tablespoon water. Place the drumsticks in the bag with the breadcrumbs and shake well to coat, pressing the breadcrumbs firmly into the meat. Arrange the drumsticks in a circle on a 9-inch pie dish with the tips facing out (they may rest on the rim of the dish). Bake until the breadcrumbs are dark golden and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (avoid touching bone), 30 to 35 minutes.
• Divide the sauce evenly over the drumsticks. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and lay 1 slice of mozzarella on top of each drumstick. Return the drumsticks to the oven and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Place the first 6 items into a ziplock bag and mix well. Place the drumsticks in the bag and mix it all up again. Place in the Fridge for 2 hours. After two hours, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. While oven is preheating, place foil on a baking sheet and then place the drumsticks on top of the foil and place in the oven. Save the left over marinade. Bake the drumsticks for 30 minutes. While the drumsticks are baking, take the marinade and place it in a pot on the stove. Simmer the marinade until it has reduced and thickened (will probably take as long as the chicken takes to cook). Once the drumsticks come out of the oven, baste them with the reduced marinade. Garnish with the sesame seeds and the fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 min. or until evenly browned, turning occasionally.
• Combine tomatoes and tomato paste; pour over chicken. Add onions; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 20 min. or until chicken is done (165°F), stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan. Top with shredded cheese; let stand, covered, until melted.
