Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds)
4 large cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt
8 Do-si-dos® or Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies
1/3 cup peanut butter, softened
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Rub the drumsticks with the garlic, season with salt and arrange far from one another on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F) and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the cookies with 1/2 cup warm water; crush the cookies with the back of a spoon until they form a paste. Whisk in the peanut butter and soy sauce with an additional 1/4 cup warm water if needed. Stir in the lime juice, red wine vinegar, hot sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and ginger. Taste for seasoning.
  • Toss the chicken in the sauce and serve immediately.

This dish was a bit time-consuming to make, but it was definitely worth it. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was incredible.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili peppers.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. The sauce is also very versatile and can be used with other proteins, such as shrimp or tofu.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. The chicken was still good, though.

I substituted chicken thighs for the legs and they worked great. The sauce was also delicious served over rice.
