Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken drumsticks and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.

- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and the glaze is sticky and caramelized, basting halfway.

- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the glaze for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
