Honey-Garlic Drumsticks

Garlic and honey are staples of Asian cooking, and these two ingredients together make many dishes taste good.  I will now share an easily prepared sauce that can be used to marinate most poultry. Garlic is a healthy food ingredient, and honey is a natural sweetener to replace sugar.  I use chicken drumsticks for this recipe, but chicken breasts and thighs are best.

Ingredients:

5 chicken drumsticks

2 tbs olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

Sauce ingredients:

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup honey

2 tbs rice wine vinegar

2 tbs soy sauce

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Other items:

3 green onions, cut into 2 inch lengths

 Serve with hot cooked rice

Directions:

Wash the drumsticks.

In a small bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients well.

Heat oil in a pan and brown the chicken on both sides.  Add garlic and stir well for 1 minute.

Add the sauce ingredients mixture and bring to boil. Turn the heat down; cover pan, and cook for 20 minutes.

 Uncover and adjust the seasonings to your taste. Let cook for another 10 minutes; add green onions.

Make a quick stir and serve with hot cooked rice.
