Wine and Drink Pairings: hard cider

Ingredients

  • 12 Chicken drumsticks-skin on
  • 1 12 oz can 100% apple juice concentrate
  • 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • Apple pie spice
  • Chili Powder
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Sesame seeds (if desired)
  • Pan Spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Spray a baking pan with non stick pan spray. I use a broiler pan with the top so the chicken fat drips into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Season chicken with apple pie spice, chili powder, salt & pepper. Turn chicken & season again. Place in oven & roast for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes turn & cook an additional 30 minutes.
  4. Once chicken is in the oven begin the glaze.
  5. Add all ingredients through lemon zest into a sauce pan. Place over medium high heat & bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer until reduced by at least half. Glaze should be slightly syrupy & coat the back of a spoon. Finish glaze with 1 Tbsp butter.
  6. Transfer sauce to a large bowl. If using sesame seeds add to glaze in bowl. When chicken is done toss chicken in sauce. Transfer to a serving platter if desired & drizzle remaining sauce over chicken.
  7. Enjoy!
