Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks

Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks

Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup LunaOlivo Modena balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

5 sprigs rosemary

5 garlic cloves, minced

10-12 chicken drumsticks

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic in a bowl and  pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the drumsticks to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible. Turn to coat drumsticks and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and dark in spots, about 30-35 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil and simmer, over low, until thick (about 15 minutes). Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
