Serving4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
- non-stick cooking spray
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha sauce, (more or less to taste- I used about 1/2 Tbsp and it was perfect for me)
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 Tablespoons scallions or chives, diced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Equipment
Instructions
- In a heavy large skillet pan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil. Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes. Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it start becoming thick).
- Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives/scallions and sesame seeds and serve. We served it with some rice and broccoli . . . it was delicious!
Notes
Be careful to watch the sauce as you don’t want it to burn when it starts to thicken up. Recipe inspired and modified from Skinny Taste.
