Spicy Peanut Ginger Drumsticks
Spicy peanut ginger drumsticks are marinated in a mix of soy sauce, black bean garlic sauce, ginger, cilantro, lime, and baked in the oven.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup (80 mL) soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons black bean garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon natural unsweetened peanut butter
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger peeled and finely grated
- 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- handful of cilantro stems washed
- 6-8 chicken drumsticks roughly 1½– 2 lbs
- kosher salt
- 1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- dry roasted unsalted peanuts finely chopped
- cilantro leaves
- fresh lime wedges for serving
- green onions finely sliced
Instructions
- Whisk the soy sauce, black bean garlic sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, sesame oil, grated ginger, sriracha, sugar, cilantro stems, and water in a large bowl. Add the drumsticks and coat them evenly in the marinade.
- Transfer marinade and drumsticks to a large Ziplock bag, removing as much air as possible. Place bag flat in a small baking dish or baking sheet and marinate for 24 hours.
- Remove the drumsticks from the fridge, and allow to them to rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with a rack in the center position. Place the chicken drumsticks along with the marinade in a medium oven-proof baking dish or half sheet pan lined with aluminum foil.
- Bake for roughly 30 to 40 minutes, turning the drumsticks every 10 or 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C). Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the drumsticks with toasted sesame seeds. Serve the drumsticks with crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, fresh lime, and sliced green onions as desired.
