Ingredients

  • 1 Kilogram Chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/2 cup Light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 5 Garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Chili/Sriracha Sauce ((Optional if you want a hint of spice))
  • 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  • 1 Cut slits into the chicken drumsticks and apply some salt to it. Keep aside.
  • 2 Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, Chili Sauce and garlic cloves in a large resalable bag.
  • 3 Add the chicken to the bag and seal it. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 450 deg F(232 deg C).
  • 4 Cover a baking tray with aluminum foil and lay out the chicken drumsticks evenly. Reserve the marinade.
  • 5 Bake until the top is caramelized and dark in spots, about 20 minutes. Turn the chicken every 10 mins. Place the leftover marinade in a small saucepan, uncovered. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Use a pastry brush to brush the cooked marinade on the chicken. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes. Place the chicken on a serving platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.
