Hoisin Chicken Drumsticks

Sometimes drumsticks are on sale at Kroger so I get them, and this was a crazy easy and delicious way to eat them. Obviously you could do this with just BBQ sauce or teriyaki sauce or any number of other flavors, but I wanted to be sure to remember this option. I might double the sauce and save half of it to pour on top of the chicken after it comes out so that there's more flavor while you're eating it.

hoisin chicken drumsticks

Yield: 4 servings ( 2 drumsticks each)

Prep Time: 15min

Cook Time: 50 min

ingredients:

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or sambal oelek)
8 chicken drumsticks (skin removed)

directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch pyrex dish or casserole dish with nonstick spray.

2. Mix the sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, lime juice and pepper sauce.

3. Place the drumsticks in the pan. Spoon the sauce over the drumsticks and spread to cover the tops and the sides.

4. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
