Ingredients

  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 10-12 chicken drumsticks, bone-in and skin-on
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed, or whatever you have)
  • 3 tablespoons liquid honey
  • a squirt of sriracha (according to your tastes)
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • orange slices, sesame seeds, and fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  • Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks in the oiled pan and cook on all sides until golden brown. No need to worry about cooking the chicken through at this point - just get a good golden crust on it!
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, sriracha, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger and garlic until well blended.
  • When the chicken has browned on all sides, pour the sauce over the chicken evenly to coat and turn off the heat under the pan.
  • Place the pan in the pre-heated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Baste the chicken with the sauce once during the baking process, if desired.
  • Serve with orange slices, a sprinkling of sesame seeds, and fresh parsley, if desired. 

Notes

This dish is best served with steamed vegetables and rice, but feel free to serve it alongside whatever side dishes you desire.

    Oh golly, this looks so good. You may have mentioned this but, I didn’t see it. Could I use chicken not on the bone?

      It’s definitely possible, although the baking time will change significantly. I’d recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken doesn’t overcook and become dry 🙂

    Has anybody ACTUALLY made this dish? Whilst it looks amaze-balls, I want a review on the actual outcome of the recipe.

      If you want to make it with a skinless piece of meat I would suggest you use chicken thighs. However the skinless chicken piece might get a little more dry than a skin on piece.
