Ingredients
- 20 chicken drumsticks
- 1/3 cup flour (any variety for GF)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4-1/2 cup Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
- Mix the flour, corn starch, and salt together in a bowl. Using paper towels, dry each drumstick and roll them in the flour mixture for a light dusting. Then lay them out on the baking sheets, evenly spaced.
- Bake the drumsticks for 30 minutes, flipping once.
- In the meantime, pour the pineapple juice and all remaining ingredients in a sauce pot. (If you are sensitive to heat, add 1/4 cup Sriracha; if you really like spicy food, add 1/2 cup.) Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Then pour the sauce over the drumsticks evenly. Roll the drumsticks around in it to coat, and place back in the oven, uncovered.
- Bake another 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and sticky and the drumsticks are well coated. Serve warm.
