When I married my husband he was using the same recipe he got from his Japanese ex-mother-in-law. It is so versatile we have used it for chicken breasts, wings, thighs, salmon, halibut, beef-kabobs - even veggies!

Tips:

  • To ensure evenly cooked and tender chicken drumsticks, start by patting them dry with paper towels. This helps remove excess moisture and allows the marinade to penetrate deeply.
  • Opt for a large bowl or resealable plastic bag when marinating the chicken drumsticks. This ensures that all the drumsticks are evenly coated in the marinade.
  • Allow the chicken drumsticks to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. The longer the marinating time, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
  • When grilling the chicken drumsticks, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This helps create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist.
  • During grilling, baste the chicken drumsticks with the reserved marinade every few minutes. This helps prevent them from drying out and adds extra flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken drumsticks are cooked thoroughly. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken drumsticks in a baking dish in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken drumsticks for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a party appetizer. With their sweet and savory flavor, tender meat, and crispy skin, these chicken drumsticks are sure to be a hit with everyone.
