On the Table: Glazed Chicken Drumsticks

For the past few days, I have been wanting to experiment with homemade chicken wings.  Chicken drumsticks were on sale at the grocery store, however, so I decided to give those a try instead.  I figured they would be pretty similar to wings, though they might take a bit longer to cook (and honestly, I think it is easier to get the meat off a drumstick than a wing).  I made a seasoning mixture and used it to glaze the drumsticks during cooking.  The drumsticks were a distant, but equally delicious, cousin to chicken wings!  To prepare:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium sized bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup of canola oil; 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar; 1/8 cup of honey; 1/2 teaspoon of salt; 2 teaspoons of sriracha; 2 teaspoons of spicy brown mustard; 1 teaspoon of soy sayce; and 1 teaspoon of worcestershire sauce.  Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.  Arrange 4-6 chicken drumsticks in a baking dish and spoon about half of the mixture over the chicken.  Bake in the preheated oven for about one hour, or until the drumsticks are cooked through.  Every 15 minutes during cooking, spoon another layer of the seasoning mixture over the chicken.

(I really should have wiped off the plate before taking this picture...)

Another option when preparing the chicken would be to marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for an hour or two before cooking it.  I served the chicken over rice.

Enjoy!
