Simply bake the drumsticks in the oven, quickly make the sauce, and brush it on the chicken. This recipe is super easy and so very tasty! I’m always on the lookout for ways to make chicken more interesting. Simply baked chicken drumsticks are great, but sometimes you want variety! This recipe fits the bill. Teriyaki sauce is amazingly flavorful, and adding it to chicken greatly elevates it. That’s why I make this recipe so often. While it looks impressive when served, it’s truly easy to make, and everyone likes it - the kids (even the Picky Eater!) and the adults.
Ingredients
Recipe Card
Chicken drumsticks: I like to keep the skin on. Avocado oil spray: An ideal cooking oil because of its neutral taste and high smoke point. Light soy sauce: Or a gluten-free alternative. Cornstarch: Just a little to help thicken the sauce. Dry white wine: I like sauvignon blanc, which also goes nicely with this dish! Honey: I use it in the sauce instead of sugar. It’s delicious! Aromatics: Minced garlic and ginger. Sesame seeds: Used purely for garnish.
Coat the chicken with oil and bake it for 30-45 minutes in a 400°F oven. You can sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper before baking, but it’s not mandatory. Just before the chicken is done, quickly make the teriyaki sauce. It takes about 10 minutes on the stove. Brush the cooked chicken with the sauce, garnish it with sesame seeds, and serve.
