Ingredients

  • 8 medium chicken drumsticks (skin removed)
  • olive oil spray
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey (or sugar)
  • 3 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated)
  • 2 tbsp chives or scallions (chopped)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil.
  2. Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes.
  4. Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes thick, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it start becoming thick).
  5. Transfer chicken to a platter and pour sauce on top.
  6. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.
