Honey Char Siew Drumsticks 🍗

Honey Char Siew Drumsticks

Ingredients: 

3 big chicken drumsticks

Marinate: 

• 4 tbsp of Lee Kum Kee Char Siew Sauce 
• 3 tbsp of Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce 
• 2 tbsp of light soya sauce 
• 3 tbsp of sugar 
• 2 tbsp of honey 
• 1 tbsp of cooking wine

Method: 

1. Add 2 tbsp of salt to chicken drumsticks. Rub all over drumsticks to remove smell and scums. Rinsed always salt and pat dry. Use a fork to poke all over drumsticks. This will help the marinate to penetrate into the meat. 
2. Mix marinate in a bowl. Place chicken into a ziplock bag and pour in the marinate. Seal bag  and massage to ensure chicken is well coated with marinate. Chill overnight. 
3. Remove chicken from fridge 30 mins before cooking. Preheat oven at 180 deg. Place chicken on baking dish without the marinate. Keep the marinate to baste the chicken while grilling. 
4. Grill chicken for 30-40mins at the lowest rack, flip once in between and baste with the marinate. 
5. Increase to 210deg to brown the chicken. Mix 2 tbsp of honey with 1 tbsp of water. Brush on chicken. Shift chicken to higher rack. Brown for about 10-15mins. Remove chicken when done. Let it rest for 5 mins before chopping to smaller pieces of serve as a whole with chicken rice and blanched vegetables. (** Chicken is done when you poke through with a chopstick and there is no blood in juice from chicken.) 

*** Note: Oven temp varies so you have to gauge your own oven when grilling chicken.
