I have it very personally when people have trouble making a recipe of mine. I take a great deal of intendance writing and testing recipes before I share them, and you lot would probably exist horrified at the number of beautiful photos I accept trashed because I wasn't happy with the recipe, or because I thought the "fail" run a risk was as well high.

I posted this Balsamic Drumsticks recipe back in Apr 2015 and a scattering of readers have had problem with it. Specifically, getting the sauce to reduce down to a glaze. It'due south not a technically difficult recipe, but information technology is unique considering drumsticks are non usually cooked the stove in a braising liquid that transforms into a coat and there are a couple of specific steps required to be followed to make this happen.

So I decided to repost this recipe with fresh new photos, even more concise stepsand a cooking video. So you can see exactly how to make it. 🙂

These balsamic chicken drumsticks are based on this Sticky Stovetop Craven recipe that I stumbled across. When I read the recipe, I thought it sounded quite similar to the flavour and method used for Filipino Craven Adobo (one of my favourite Asian chicken recipes!), except that it is fabricated with drumsticks (and with less ingredients).

This recipe is actually quite genius. I don't recollect nearly people would think to melt drumsticks on the stove, and even if yous did, getting a beautiful caramelisation and the glaze is some other matter altogether.

I bet nigh people would never guess information technology wasn't baked. Or that there'southward simply 5 ingredients in this. Five.

It'due south a fairly classic sweet-sour sense of taste made with a scrap of sugar, balsamic and soy sauce. But then y'all add some water into the pot with the chicken and sauce so by the time the chicken is cooked, the braising liquid reduces downwardly to a thick viscous glaze. And that glaze caramelises which adds even more flavor.

Yummy! Await at it. This is what it looks like straight off the stove.

I retrieve the first time I made this recipe, I took a bite and thought "Ew, this is terrible". I stood over the stove with my easily on my hips, caput cocked, wondering how I was going to salve it. I thought back over the recipe. I mean, it only has 5 ingredients in it. And at that place were rave reviews by people who had tried it. Either all those people have terrible gustatory modality in food….or….I stuffed up.

Yep, yous guessed it. I blimp up a v ingredient recipe. V INGREDIENTS and I managed to accidentally leave out the most important one – soy sauce.

DUH!

I managed to salve my embarrassing disaster by taking out the drumsticks and remaking the glaze. And considering the salvaged version was so tasty that I idea I had better brand information technology again. I gave myself a large pat on the back for remembering all v ingredients the second fourth dimension!

Now this is a archetype back-pocket recipe of mine.

Gluey chicken – done – with less than 5 minutes of active endeavor. Can't enquire for much more than that! 🙂– Nagi x

Sticky craven drumsticks that are cooked on the stove in one-half the time it takes to bake! Don't let the brusque list of ingredients fool yous - the glaze tastes like information technology has a lot more in it. Adjusted from this Sticky Stove Top Chicken recipe from Sparks People. This recipe is Non suited for scaling up because the glaze will not thicken. Watch the cooking video (in mail) to see exactly how this is made - in detail, lookout the braising liquid transform into the sticky coat!

▢ 8 chicken drumsticks (2 lb / ane kg) (Note one)
▢ 1 loving cup water
▢ 1/ii cup balsamic vinegar
▢ one/3 cup soy sauce (all purpose or calorie-free, non dark)
▢ 3 tbsp sugar (brown)
▢ 3 garlic cloves , minced

Actress Flavourings (Optional)

▢ 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
▢ 2 tbsp Sriracha or 1 tsp cherry-red pepper flakes (Note 2)

Garnishes (optional)

▢ Parsley or shallots/scallions , finely sliced

Combine all ingredients (including Extra Flavourings, if using) in a large skillet/fry pan or pot (Notation 3) over medium high heat. The chicken should exist in a single layer.
Bring to boil, turn chicken, then turn down to medium and then it simmers energetically but not rapidly. Practice Non cover the pan with a hat.
Cook for 20 minutes, turning the craven at ten minutes.
At twenty minutes, the chicken should be cooked. Motion the chicken to the side of the skillet, propping and stacking them upwards on the edges of the skillet to clear the surface of the liquid as much as possible so it can reduce.
Simmer for 5 minutes or until the liquid thickens (consistency of thick pouring cream) and coats the chicken. Keep an eye on the sauce, once it starts to thicken it will reduce speedily, don't let it become too far. Roll the chicken in the coat.
Remove the skillet from the stove and represent 5 minutes - the sauce volition thicken slightly more. Roll the chicken in the glaze again, then serve, garnished with parsley or scallions if desired.
(Note 4)
Serve, garnished with scallions/shallots if using.

1. This recipe will piece of work with boneless thigh fillets and chicken wings. Take the chicken out when cooked (boneless thigh - around fifteen minutes, wings - around 15 minutes) and leave the sauce to reduce down to a glaze, then return the chicken to the pan to coat in the glaze. Bone-in thighs will also work - utilise the same cook times as drumsticks.

If yous make this with breast fillets, you won't reach the same sticky glaze (because you need fat to create coat). If you want to make this with chest fillets, I recommend adding iii tbsp of oil into the liquid to help a coat class.

2. You tin employ any chili, fresh or dried, or hot sauce to add together heat to your gustatory modality.

3. You lot demand to use a large pan or pot for this recipe. Large plenty and so the drumsticks fit in one layer simply not besides squished together otherwise the liquid volition never reduce and the drumsticks won't be submerged in the liquid plenty to cook.

Even though simply well-nigh 1/4 of the drumsticks is submerged in the liquid, the bubbles from simmering + turning the chicken is enough to melt the drumsticks.

four. The purpose of this step is to permit the sauce to reduce. The cook time required to reduce the sauce volition differ depending on the size of your pan, drumsticks and strength of the stove. The sauce is set when information technology coats the chicken.

5. This is the nutrition per drumstick. Merely note that the calories is overstated because a lot of the chicken skin fat renders out during cooking and mixes in with the glaze. And but around 1/four of the coat coats the craven.
