3 tablespoons honey
½ cup soy sauce

Fry the chicken in a large pan, on all sides for about 10-15 minutes, stirring often to prevent the marinade from burning, until golden brown.
Remove from the pan and pour in the marinade.
Bring to a boil and stir, until the marinade is thick and resembles a sauce.

Categories Chicken Nut Poultry Bake Quick & Easy Back to School Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 tablespoons walnuts
12 chicken drumsticks (3 pounds total)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup drained bottled roasted red peppers (from a 7-ounce jar)
1/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs (from 1 slice firm white sandwich bread)
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses or 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 475°F. While oven is preheating, toast nuts on a baking sheet in oven until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
Pat chicken dry, then put in a large shallow heavy baking pan (1 inch deep) without crowding and rub with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil. Bake, without turning, until golden brown and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
While chicken bakes, blend together bell peppers, bread crumbs, walnuts, garlic paste, pomegranate molasses, cumin, and cayenne in a food processor until as smooth as possible, about 1 minute. With motor running, gradually add remaining 6 tablespoons oil and blend until combined well. Season sauce with salt and drizzle over baked chicken.

Tips:

To make sure the chicken drumsticks are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
To make the muhammara sauce, you can use either roasted or raw red bell peppers. If using roasted peppers, be sure to remove the skins before blending.
If you don't have Aleppo pepper, you can use another type of chili pepper, such as cayenne pepper or paprika.
Muhammara sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Chicken drumsticks can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking. This will help to flavor the chicken and make it more tender.
If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply season it with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking.
Chicken drumsticks can be cooked in the oven, on the grill, or in a skillet.
To cook chicken drumsticks in the oven, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and cook the drumsticks for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
To cook chicken drumsticks on the grill, preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the drumsticks for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
To cook chicken drumsticks in a skillet, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the drumsticks for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Conclusion:

Chicken drumsticks with muhammara sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the muhammara sauce is smoky and slightly spicy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
