Description

Ingredients

• 8 chicken drumsticks (2 lb / 1 kg) (Note 1)
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup balsamic vinegar
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons sugar (brown)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
• 2 tbsp Sriracha or 1 tsp red pepper flakes (Note 2)
• Parsley or shallots/scallions, finely sliced

Directions

• Combine all ingredients (including Extra Flavourings, if using) in a large skillet/fry pan or pot (Note 3) over medium high heat. The chicken should be in a single layer.
• Bring to boil, turn chicken, then turn down to medium so it simmers energetically but not rapidly. DO NOT cover the pan with a lid.
• Cook for 20 minutes, turning the chicken at 10 minutes.
• At 20 minutes, the chicken should be cooked. Move the chicken to the side of the skillet, propping and stacking them up on the edges of the skillet to clear the surface of the liquid as much as possible so it can reduce.
• Simmer for 5 minutes or until the liquid thickens (consistency of thick pouring cream) and coats the chicken. Keep an eye on the sauce, once it starts to thicken it will reduce quickly, dont let it go too far. Roll the chicken in the glaze.
• Remove the skillet from the stove and stand for 5 minutes - the sauce will thicken slightly more. Roll the chicken in the glaze again, then serve, garnished with parsley or scallions if desired.
• (Note 4)
• Serve, garnished with scallions/shallots if using.
