Sweet and Sticky Chicken Drumsticks Recipe
Sweet and Sticky Chicken Drumsticks Recipe
Chicken drumsticks are something that we have been on a kick with lately. My kids love them so we are constantly searching for chicken recipes that I just know everyone will enjoy. We have chicken at least 3-4 days per week so finding new recipes or different ways to prepare the chicken is important to me as I love trying new flavors. Even better, chicken drumsticks are cheap! I can typically find them at the grocery store for less than a dollar a pound, which is always a win in my book.
These sweet and sticky chicken legs are the perfect family meal, afternoon snack, middle of the night cold snack or as a topping for your favorite salad the next day. Combining the flavors of brown sugar, ginger, soy, and garlic, these chicken drumsticks are absurdly good. Just make sure you break out the napkins…or lick your fingers!
