Ingredients
- 1 lb. Rocky Air-Chilled Drumsticks
- 2 tsp. Kosher Salt
- 2 tsp. Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp. Chinese Five Spice Blend
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
- Sesame Seeds (for serving)
- 1/4 c. Hoisin Sauce
- 1/2 tsp. Fresh Ginger, grated
- 1 Garlic Clove, grated
- 1/4 c. Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 tbsp. Sherry
- 2 tbsp. Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 tsp. Sesame Oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 275 degrees, and arrange a large baking tray with a fitted rack. Pat drumsticks completely dry with paper towels, then add to a resealable plastic bag. Combine Chinese 5-Spice mix, salt, pepper, and baking powder in a small bowl, then add to bag with chicken drumsticks; seal bag tightly, then shake vigorously until drumsticks are evenly coated in seasoning blend. Remove drumsticks from bag, shaking off any excess seasoning, and transfer to prepared rack.
Bake drumsticks for 30 minutes, then remove tray from oven. Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees, then return drumsticks to oven for further 30 to 45 minutes or until drumsticks are golden and crisp, rotating tray halfway through cooking. While drumsticks bake, combine hoisin, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sherry, sugar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan on medium-low heat, and slowly bring to a simmer. When sauce reaches simmer, stir in butter until melted and immediately remove from heat. Cover and keep warm until needed.
When drumsticks are finished, pour sauce into a large mixing bowl, then transfer hot drumsticks into sauce. Toss until drumsticks are evenly coated, then sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish. Serve immediately.
