Asian Drumsticks. (serves 4)
I thought so. The sauce is thick and rich tasting and free of any synthetic fats or oils. My husband loved it (I had my sauce on my Gardein crispy chicken nuggets after baking)
Asian sauce
1/3 cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon honey
4 teaspoons minced jarred garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder (I use Penzey's)
Mix and set aside.
In a Tablespoon or two of olive oil brown 8 free-range chicken drumsticks in a pan on medium high heat for 8- 10 minutes per side, until lightly brown. Remove from pan and pour off any oil or dripping and wipe down pan with a paper towel. Add chicken back to pan, pour sauce over top and cook on a low/medium simmer, covered, until chicken is 165 degrees F, internally (for these pieces, fresh from the local butcher, it was 8 minutes in the pan per side, then 45 minutes on a low simmer).
Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. To the sauce add 2 teaspoons of cornstarch mixed with 2 Tablespoons of water. Raise temperature to a boil and whisk until sauce is thickened. Pour over chicken and serve.
Serve with 1/2 cup rice, additional crushed pepper and green onion as garnish (optional) and some salad drizzled with rice vinegar or lemon juice. My husband gave it a "two thumbs up" and asked me to make it again.
