Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 lb chicken drumettes
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Cooking Tips:
- For best results, marinate the drumettes in the glaze for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To make the glaze thicker, simmer it on the stove for a few minutes before brushing it onto the drumettes.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also bake the drumettes in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken drumettes to the bowl and toss to coat in the glaze. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the drumettes from the marinade and discard any excess glaze.
4. Grill the drumettes for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until cooked through and caramelized.
5. Brush the remaining glaze onto the drumettes during the last few minutes of cooking.
6. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
