These sticky chicken drumsticks boast a blend of flavors that will startle you in the best way possible! Marinated in a flavorful mix of garlic, ginger, red chili, honey, and soy sauce, chicken drumsticks turn moist and flavorful with sweet and savory notes. After frying the marinated drumsticks in a hot pan, remove them to a plate and cook down the marinade in the same pan until thick and shiny. Return the drumsticks to the pan and toss until glazed completely. The result? Tender, juicy drumsticks with a crispy exterior, generously glazed in a sticky, irresistible sauce that will have you licking your fingers clean.

Preparation

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, chili, honey, and soy sauce.
  2. Mix in the chicken drumsticks.
  3. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
  4. Fry the chicken in a large pan, on all sides for about 10-15 minutes, stirring often to prevent the marinade from burning, until golden brown.
  5. Remove from the pan and pour in the marinade.
  6. Bring to a boil and stir, until the marinade is thick and resembles a sauce.
  7. Throw the chicken back in the pan and fry for a further 5-10 minutes in the sauce, making sure each drumstick is evenly coated and cooked through.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions.
