Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken drumettes
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Mix until the brown sugar dissolves and the marinade is well combined.
Add the chicken drumettes to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor).
Remove the drumettes from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the drumettes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the drumettes are baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the marinade.
Cook the marinade over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a glaze (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
After 20 minutes of baking, brush the drumettes with the glaze using a pastry brush. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 74°C or 165°F) and the glaze is caramelized.
Remove the drumettes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Honey Soy Drumettes!
