1/2 cup Sriracha
1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1/4 cup red currant or strawberry jelly
12 large chicken drumsticks
Kosher salt
1 cup rice flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Ingredient info: Sriracha, mirin, and rice flour can be found at many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Steps:

  • Bring Sriracha, rice vinegar, mirin, and jelly to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, adjusting heat if necessary, until mixture is thick and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before using.
  • Place drumsticks in a large bowl and season generously with salt. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 450°F. Whisk rice flour and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Using a paper towel, pat drumsticks dry. Dredge in rice flour mixture, shaking off excess. Arrange on prepared rack.
  • Roast drumsticks, turning frequently, until skin is browned and crisp, 50-60 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool, cover, and chill. Rewarm in a 450°F oven for 10-15 minutes before continuing.
  • Combine hot drumsticks and 1/4 cup sauce in a large bowl; toss to coat. Return drumsticks to rack and roast, turning once, until skin is crisp and sauce is beginning to brown, 8-9 minutes. Brush with additional sauce and serve remaining sauce alongside.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups sweet chili sauce (found in the Asian food isle at your local grocery store)
1 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup fresh ginger, cut into strips
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3 spring onions, green portion only, chopped
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
8 chicken drumsticks
3 1/2 cups snow pea pods, fresh
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
rice (optional)

Steps:

  • With your potato peeler peel a portion of skin off of the ginger. Continue to peel strips of the cream flesh of the ginger until you have approximately 1/8 cup. If desired, you can take a knife and cut the ginger into smaller pieces at this point. My family happens to like ginger, so I leave it in long strips. Place remaining ginger in a freezer bag and place in freezer for later use.
  • Add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fresh ginger, sesame seeds, spring onions, and red pepper flakes to a gallon sized ziplock bag and give it a shake to combine.
  • Place chicken drumsticks into bag and seal. Place bag in the refrigerator and allow chicken to marinade for a minimum of 4 hours.
  • Once chicken has marinated, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Carefully remove chicken from bag and set marinade aside. Do Not discard.
  • Place chicken on a greased baking sheet. Cook legs 15 minutes at 400 degrees then flip and cook an additional 15 minutes.
  • While chicken is in the oven, cook rice if desired; according to package directions.
  • During the last 15 minutes of cooking the chicken, pour oil into a wok or large skillet and heat over high heat. When oil is good and hot, add the sliced mushrooms, snow pea pods, and water chestnuts and quickly stir-fry until snow peas are crisp tender. Remove vegetables to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn the heat down on on your wok or pan and add the marinade sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook approximately 5 minutes. Add vegetables, and chicken drumsticks to the sauce and give a quick stir to coat all ingredients.
  • Spoon vegetables and sauce over rice and top each serving with two drumsticks.
