Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 0.5 cups hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with vegetable oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
While the drumsticks are roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
After 25 minutes of roasting, remove the drumsticks from the oven. Brush them generously with the spicy hoisin glaze using a basting brush, making sure all sides are coated.
Return the drumsticks to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve warm with rice, salad, or as is for a finger-licking appetizer.
