Hoisin Five-Spice Chicken Drumsticks

Hoisin Five-Spice Chicken Drumsticks

adapted from Gourmet, March 2000

I am forever trying to find new way of cooking chicken. Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones. With only three ingredients, it is simple to make and very tasty.

It is sticky but not too sweet chicken that pairs well with rice and steamed veggies.

4 chicken drumsticks
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
2. Combine the hoisin sauce and five spice powder in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. 
3. Line the pan with foil otherwise you will have a very sticky clean up.
4. Place the chicken drumsticks on a rack over the lined baking pan .  
5. Brush the chicken liberally with the hoisin mixture. 
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the skin is browned and chicken is cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
