Who doesn’t love some good chicken drumsticks from time to time. Oven baked five spice chicken drumsticks recipe is one of my favorite drumstick recipes to make. It is easy to do and will taste fantastic 🙂
The First initial step is one of the important things to do. Soak the chicken in milk and season with Chinese five spice powder.
SAUCE
I use simple ingredients to make s sauce for the drumsticks;
- Teriyaki baste & glaze
- Sweet Chili Sauce
- Sriracha sauce to add a bit of kick to the taste
Thoroughly drain any excess milk from your drumsticks and place them in a large zip lock bag to marinate in previously prepared sauce.
Cover your baking sheet with parchment paper and off we go and ready to bake.
After about 15 to 20 minutes of baking on one side pull out the drumsticks and flip them on the other side. At the same time brush them with some extra sauce. Put them back in the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.
I make a teriyaki ginger glaze to add a bit more flavor to the drumsticks at the end. I use about 1/4 of a cup of freshly chopped ginger and one tablespoon of teriyaki glaze to fry the drumsticks for an additional 10 minutes.
Frying drumsticks for an extra 10 minutes does the trick, and results are outstanding. Last, garnish with a hint of fresh green scallion and sesame seeds if desired, then enjoy!
