Mouthwatering Chinese Chicken Drumsticks image

Kids and adults alike seem to love this recipe! My mother, who is Chinese, always made chicken this way. Now that I'm an adult, I make it this way too. It's simple, easy, and always turns out delicious. It's a big hit with company!

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 drumsticks, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons dark soy sauce
6 tablespoons oyster sauce (Lee Kum Chee is the best brand. I buy mine in bulk at an oriental market)
4 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons cooking sherry
2 tablespoons pancake syrup (while it may seem bizarre, this is the most important ingredient. The syrup caramelizes as the chick)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
8 chicken drumsticks

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a zip-lock bag. Add chicken. Marinade overnight.
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a medium-sized baking pan with aluminum foil and sprinkle the bottom of the pan with salt
  • Dump the contents of the bag (including the sauce) into the pan. Arrange the drumsticks so that they are not touching each other.
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for forty-five minutes.
  • Remove the top layer of foil and turn the chicken over. Bake for an additional fifteen to twenty minutes, until the top of the chicken is nicely browned.
  • Remove from oven.
  • I always serve this with white rice, and pour the drippings from the chicken over the rice.
