Asian BBQ Dipping Sauce

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
16 chicken drumsticks (3pounds)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup sweet Asian chile sauce or hot pepper jelly
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup chicken stock or broth
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 cup toasted seasame seeds

What's there not to love about chicken drumsticks? They're dark meat (more flavor), relatively inexpensive (certainly compared to boneless skinless breasts), they cook up quickly (half an hour in the oven), you can save the leftover bones for making stock, they're kid-friendly (have you ever met a kid who didn't like drumstick?), and they even come with built-in nifty handles (so you can eat like king Henry VIII).

There are ,amy ways to do breaded and baked drumsticks. This particular recipe uses a mayonnaise and mustard mixture as a firtst coating, then some breadcrumbs with chives for the breadcrumb coating. You could just as easily use a beaten egg for thi first coat (you need somthing for the breadcrumbs to adhere to), and a mixture of breadcrumbs, panko, grated Parmesan, lemon zest, tarragon, or thyme for the bread crumb coating. You can also brown the drumsticks first on the stovetop and then transfer the pan to the oven (helps to use a cast iron pan if doing it this way).

This goes nicely with roasted potatoes! Mediterranean The recipe uses chicken legs, but works for any chicken parts.

"Deviling" food just means adding spicy ingredients that also color the food a deep red or gold. Cayenne pepper, paprika and mustard are the ingredients used to get this combination. These drumsticks are especially good for dipping. You can use a spicy mixture for the dip, like salsa mixed with yogurt or mayonnaise, or something cooling, like sour cream with mint and chopped cucumber.

If you're serving this recipe to kids, you can cut down on the mustard and cayenne pepper for a milder recipe. Don't omit the paprika it adds a smoky sweetness. Serve these drumsticks with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. A mixed fruit salad with poppy seed dressing is a good complement.
