Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are about the same size so they cook evenly. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger works well.
  • Preheat the grill: Make sure the grill is hot before you start cooking the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Cook the chicken for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade: Basting the chicken with the marinade while it is cooking will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. This will make the chicken more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Grilled Asian chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger, then grilled until it is cooked through. The chicken is served with a dipping sauce made from hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family!
