Chinese Honey Chicken Drumsticks
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks -
- 2/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce -
- 1/3 cup liquid honey -
- cooking spray
Instructions
-
In a medium sized bowl combine teriyaki, hoisin and honey. Place chicken in a large resealable bag. Pour teriyaki mixture over chicken. Make sure all pieces are coated. Remove as much air as possible and seal bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, if possible, overnight. Adjust bag or turn bag over several times while marinating in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with tinfoil and cooking spray. Remove chicken from bag and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake chicken for 1 hour, turning drumsticks over and basting (I use a brush) with pan juices at least once while cooking.
Recipe Notes
I’ve never used hoisin sauce and I can’t eat spicy food. Is hoisin sauce spicy if so what can I use in the place of it? I love chicken drumsticks and I really want to try this. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t tolerste spicy food anymore and I don’t find this mixture to be hot spicy. That being said hoisin sauce is basically a Chinese barbecue sauce. Here is an easy recipe to make it at home. I highly recommend tasting the mixture and adding some dashes of hot sauce to neutralize the sweetness of you can handle it.
INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter or black bean paste
1 tablespoon honey or molasses or brown sugar
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons sesame oil
A few dashes hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Combine.
With that recipe you will have a bit leftover but you will definitely be able to control the heat.

WHERE DO YOU FIND LIQUID HONEY SPRAY?? I DON’T THINK WAL-MART WOULD CARRY IT.
I apologize for the confusion. Liquid honey is all that is required for this recipe. I am not sure where it says liquid honey spray anywhere. Please let me know so I can correct the error! I would appreciate that! Thank you and take care. Karin
