Ingredients

1 large lime
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
1 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tsp sambal oelek (ground fresh chili paste)
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Cooking spray
8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 ¹⁄₂ lb)
1 tsp kosher salt
¹⁄₂ tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.
Grate ¹⁄₄ teaspoon zest from lime into a small bowl. Squeeze 3 tablespoons juice from lime into a small saucepan. Add brown sugar and next 5 ingredients to saucepan with juice; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring just until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 2 minutes or just until mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Remove 3 tablespoons glaze to a small bowl. Stir zest into reserved glaze; keep warm and set aside.
Line a baking sheet with foil; coat foil with cooking spray. Place chicken in a single layer on prepared pan and season with salt and pepper. Toss chicken with reserved 3 tablespoons glaze.
Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Turn chicken over; brush with remaining glaze and bake for 10 to 12 more minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 165°. Place chicken on a platter. Sprinkle with green onions.

Notes

Drumsticks are not only affordable, they’re fun. Kids, big and little, love to eat with their hands. With this glaze, things will get a little messy, but the flavor is well worth the extra napkins
