Sweet Chili Chicken

Ingredients

2.5 lbs. chicken drummettes
2 Tbsp. honey

1 Tbsp. mushroom soy sauce

1 shoyu
1 Tbsp. sesame oil

sesame seeds
chives, minced, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and parchment paper and set aside.
Grab your chicken. Give it a quick rinse under cold water. Pat it dry. Put your drummettes in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Set them aside on the counter to knock the chill off them. To make the marinade, grab a medium-sized bowl and add the honey and shoyu. Toss in the chili garlic paste and add the sesame oil. With a fork or whisk, mix the marinade well to combine all ingredients. Pour the marinade into the zip-top bag and over your chicken. Seal the bag well and make sure that all of the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Marinate for an hour or so. Place the marinated chicken to your prepared sheet pan, simply by lining them up so there’s a little space between each. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Coat each drumette generously. Place pan into the oven and roast for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees. When they’re done, they should have a nice brown crust. Cut into one to be sure they’re cooked in the middle. Because they’re little things, they’ll cook fast. Enjoy!
