Description

Sweet, sticky, spicy, succulent: a must-try recipe.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cups Flour
  • 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 20 whole Chicken Drumsticks
  • 3-½ cups Pineapple Juice
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cups Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cups Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Grated Ginger
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½ cups Sriracha Hot Sauce, Or Less To Taste

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil, spray with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.

Mix the flour, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Using paper towels, dry each drumstick and roll them in the flour mixture for a light dusting. Then lay them out on the baking sheets, evenly spaced.

Bake the drumsticks for 30 minutes, flipping once.

In the meantime, pour the pineapple juice and all remaining ingredients in a sauce pot. (If you are sensitive to heat, add 1/4 cup Sriracha; if you really like spicy food, add 1/2 cup.) Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Then pour the sauce over the drumsticks evenly. Roll the drumsticks around in it to coat, and place back in the oven.

Bake another 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and sticky and the drumsticks are well coated.

Serve warm.

VERY GOOD! I halved the recipe, and used ground ginger (1/4 tsp) and then used only a bit of hot sauce. I basted the chicken every 5 minutes. So good. Thanks so much for sharing. A nice change from Shake n Bake! :)
