Ingredient info: Sriracha, mirin, and rice flour can be found at many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Using a paper towel, pat drumsticks dry. Dredge in rice flour mixture, shaking off excess. Arrange on prepared rack.
  • Roast drumsticks, turning frequently, until skin is browned and crisp, 50-60 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool, cover, and chill. Rewarm in a 450°F oven for 10-15 minutes before continuing.

Provided by Chef Buggsy Mate

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups sweet chili sauce (found in the Asian food isle at your local grocery store)
1 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup fresh ginger, cut into strips
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3 spring onions, green portion only, chopped
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
8 chicken drumsticks
3 1/2 cups snow pea pods, fresh
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
rice (optional)

Steps:

  • With your potato peeler peel a portion of skin off of the ginger. Continue to peel strips of the cream flesh of the ginger until you have approximately 1/8 cup. If desired, you can take a knife and cut the ginger into smaller pieces at this point. My family happens to like ginger, so I leave it in long strips. Place remaining ginger in a freezer bag and place in freezer for later use.
  • Add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fresh ginger, sesame seeds, spring onions, and red pepper flakes to a gallon sized ziplock bag and give it a shake to combine.
  • Place chicken drumsticks into bag and seal. Place bag in the refrigerator and allow chicken to marinade for a minimum of 4 hours.
  • Once chicken has marinated, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Carefully remove chicken from bag and set marinade aside. Do Not discard.
  • Place chicken on a greased baking sheet. Cook legs 15 minutes at 400 degrees then flip and cook an additional 15 minutes.
  • While chicken is in the oven, cook rice if desired; according to package directions.
  • During the last 15 minutes of cooking the chicken, pour oil into a wok or large skillet and heat over high heat. When oil is good and hot, add the sliced mushrooms, snow pea pods, and water chestnuts and quickly stir-fry until snow peas are crisp tender. Remove vegetables to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn the heat down on on your wok or pan and add the marinade sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook approximately 5 minutes. Add vegetables, and chicken drumsticks to the sauce and give a quick stir to coat all ingredients.
  • Spoon vegetables and sauce over rice and top each serving with two drumsticks.

STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS WITH SPICY/SWEET PLUM SAUCE



Sticky Grilled Drumsticks With Spicy/Sweet Plum Sauce image

Food & Wine Magazine, August 2008 edition. From Pairing of the Day: August 2008, Great Chicken Recipes: Wings, Breasts, Drumsticks and Thighs. Grace Parisi prepares a wonderfully sticky and nicely sweet glaze of fresh plums and red pepper jelly to brush over drumsticks while grilling. Hot red pepper jelly makes for a spicier glaze, sweet pepper jelly creates a milder one. We opted for the milder one because we made it for the home but we made a batch of the spicier glaze for us and it was wonderful! This is a fantastic and tasty recipe for the grill and the summer.Suggested wine: Juicy Primitivo: 2006 . Serve with the drumsticks, corn on the cob with any of the outrageous butter recipes on zaar, a yummy mixed-greens salad with garbanzo beans, bacon, sesame seeds and a champagne vinaigrette, and then for dessert something chocolate and DECADENT! ;)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices. The combination of paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper gives these drumsticks their signature flavor. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as chili powder, ginger, or turmeric.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the drumsticks, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the drumsticks will steam rather than fry and they won't be as crispy.
  • Cook the drumsticks over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning. If you cook them over too high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the drumsticks are cooked through. The internal temperature of the drumsticks should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove them from the pan.
  • Serve the drumsticks with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Spicy drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make party appetizer or game day snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a plate of crispy, flavorful drumsticks that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
