Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 0.5 cups hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with vegetable oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 3
Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
Step 4
While the drumsticks are roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
After 25 minutes of roasting, remove the drumsticks from the oven. Brush them generously with the spicy hoisin glaze using a basting brush, making sure all sides are coated.
Step 6
Return the drumsticks to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with rice, salad, or as is for a finger-licking appetizer.
