Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken drumettes
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sambal oelek or chili paste
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sambal oelek, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Place the chicken drumettes into the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
Arrange the marinated drumettes on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure even cooking. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Bake the drumettes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides brown evenly.
While the drumettes are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.
Once the drumettes are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the oven and brush them with the glaze.
Transfer the drumettes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
