With just FOUR ingredients, these chicken drumsticks couldn’t be any easier.

Followed the recipe exactly, and it was good, but most of the sauce kind of melted into the pan and there wasn’t a lot of Hoisen flavor on the drumsticks. Probably should have basted or something.
Made this with chipotle ketchup instead of hot sauce… absolutely perfect! I bet this would taste good on wings too. My husband and son about licked their plates off when they found out there was no more. Great recipe!
These drumsticks look so damn tasty!! I can’t wait to get a few dozen on my plate 😉
I’m loving how simple these look – and delicious of course! That glistening sauce is seriously making me hungry!
What brand of Hoisin sauce do you use?
no idea… but any brand will do!
