Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken drumettes
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sambal oelek or chili paste
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sambal oelek, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken drumettes into the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.

Step 4

Arrange the marinated drumettes on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure even cooking. Reserve the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Bake the drumettes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides brown evenly.

Step 6

While the drumettes are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.

Step 7

Once the drumettes are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the oven and brush them with the glaze.

Step 8

Transfer the drumettes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
