Asian Glazed Drumsticks

Lately I've been trying to cook healthier, so I created a board on Pinterest to post healthy recipes on to. This week I actually decided to try one of those recipes, and I chose the Asian Glazed Drumsticks from Skinny Taste. They were quite delicious and relatively easy to make. I would definitely make these again! Here's the recipe:

• 8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed
• olive oil spray
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce (more or less to taste)
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 4 tsp agave nectar (or sugar)
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp chives or scallions (I used green onions), chopped
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

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


Enjoy!
