Easy Sticky Honey Sesame Drumsticks

I'm always looking for an easy dinner to make for my boys, especially now that we are into the hot days of summer (record breaking heat wave last week!). I saw this recipe in Canadian Living, and figured I needed to give it a try. I did modify it to suit my plans - here is the recipe:

Easy Sticky Honey Sesame Drumsticks (source: Canadian Living, August 2013)

8-10 chicken drumsticks
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, minced
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

In a bowl, whisk together the honey, sesame oil and soy sauce, Add in the minced garlic and whisk again. Pour the mixture into a resealable bag, add the chicken. Seal the bag and put into the refrigerator. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours. I put ours together in the morning and let sit in the marinade all day.

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking dish (parchment paper or tin foil) and place the chicken in the dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Place in oven and bake for abut 25 minutes (or until the chicken juice runs clear). When done, remove from oven, put chicken onto a serving dish, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve and enjoy!

VERDICT:
This is an EASY recipe, perfect for hot summer days (as long as you have a/c in the house!). The flavour is nice, and the drumsticks are a beautiful golden colour when cooked. We enjoyed these, and will make them again!
