*Asian Glazed Drumsticks*

This makes for a very easy weeknight meal!  I am not sure why, but I have never cooked drumsticks until this recipe.  With the skin taken off, they are not fatty at all!  

For this recipe:
Servings:4 Serving Size:2 Drumsticks Calories:213 Fat:4.7g Protein:27.5g Carbs:12.7g 

Not gonna lie ... I had 3 drumsticks.  I'm pretty sure that everyone can afford a little more than 213 calories for dinner when you just have it with a side of broccoli! 

8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed                                                 


olive oil spray (I used my Misto)
1 cup water
1 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce (more or less to taste - my fav!)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 tsp agave nectar (or sugar)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp chives or scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds

In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil. Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, agave, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes.
Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it start becoming thick) Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.
