Look no further for a simple dinner recipe than these tender chicken drumsticks simmered in a sweet and tangy sauce. The acid in the vinegar-based marinade helps the meat retain its moisture and stay juicy. While the recipe uses balsamic vinegar, some other acids to try include citrus juice (think: lemon, lime, orange) and white vinegar.
Asian Glazed Chicken Drumsticks Ingredients Directions Heat a large pan over medium-high heat then spray the pan with cooking oil spray. In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil. Add water, Sriracha, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger. Cook until liquid boils then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Then, take off the cover and allow the liquid to continue simmering for 10 minutes until the sauce becomes thick. Flip the chicken drumsticks as needed and lower the heat as needed to prevent the sauce from burning. Sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds (optional) and serve.
