Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha sauce. Whisk well to create the marinade.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside for later use as a glaze.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the drumsticks on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is nicely charred.
Brush the reserved marinade over the drumsticks during the last 5 minutes of grilling to create a sticky glaze.
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice or a fresh salad.
