I think I got this from skinnytaste.com, but not sure. It was pretty good! Enjoy!
Asian Glazed Drumsticks
8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed
olive oil spray
1 c. Water
1Tbsp Sriracha hot sause (more or less, to taste) > can get from Walmart, in Asian food section (bottle with rooster on it)
1/2 c. balsamic vinegar
1/2 c. soy sauce
4 tsp agave nectar (or use sugar) > got this from WM too
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 Tbsp chives or scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds
In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3 to 4 mins. with a little spray oil. (I used my wok with Pam.) Add water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, agave, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil. reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 mins. Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8 to 10 mins, until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occassionally. Keep an eye on the glaze, you don't want it to burn when it starts becoming thick. Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.
I made 6 drumsticks and through myfitnesspal.com, it calculated out to be 168 cals per piece/15.5 g protein/6.1 g fat/9.2 carbs/5.4 g sugar/827.4 mg sodium.
