Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce see note
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1-3 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- sliced green onions optional, for garnish
- sesame seeds optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the drumsticks, skin side down in the baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and sriracha together. Pour the sauce over the drumsticks.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the oven and set the chicken aside.
- Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring the sauce to a simmer. Remove from the heat.
- Stir your cornstarch and water mixture one last time and pour it into the sauce. Return the sauce to the heat and bring back to a simmer. Once the sauce has thickened, liberally brush it over the chicken.
- Broil the chicken for 2-5 minutes until browned and lacquered with sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store baked teriyaki chicken drumsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Soy Sauce: For a gluten-free alternative, you can use tamari or coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce.
- You can substitute bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for some or all of the drumsticks.
- I like to keep the skin on my drumsticks, but you can remove it if you wish. The drumsticks may not come out as crisp, though.
- You can use sake (rice wine) or mirin in place of the rice vinegar.
- In place of the fresh ginger, you can use ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger.
- In place of the garlic, you can use ¾ teaspoon garlic powder.
- For a spicy teriyaki sauce, add more sriracha or sambal oelek.
- Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
