Sticky Baked Drumsticks

 

Olive oil, to drizzle

12 chicken drumsticks

Kosher salt and fresh, ground pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

For the glaze:

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup fish sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Juice of 2 lemons

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons sesame oil

 

Heat the oven to 400. Lightly oil a large baking dish, or line a baking sheet with foil. Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper and arrange in the dish or baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle over a little olive oil and bake in the hot oven for 20 minutes.

Prepare the glaze in the meantime. Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl until totally combined.

Take the chicken out of the oven and pour over the glaze, to coat each drumstick. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, turning several times, until the chicken is tender and nicely glazed. Check the internal temp of the chicken for 165 degrees.

Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
