Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
5 sprigs fresh rosemary
5 garlic cloves, halved
10 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped

Preparation

Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, salt and garlic cloves, stirring to mix well.
Pour into a large reseable zip-top plastic bag and add the drumsticks.
Seal with as little air as possible.
Place in the refrigerator and marinade for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake until the skin is carmelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, pour marinade in a small saucepan.
Bring marinade to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer over low heat, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat.
During the last 10 minutes baste chicken with the marinade.
Place chicken on a serving platter and baste with the remaining glaze.
Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and chopped parsley.
