Ingredients

½ cup hoisin sauce, gluten-free, if needed
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon soy sauce, gluten-free, if needed
1 teaspoon garlic chili sauce, can sub sriracha
1 teaspoon rice vinegar, can substitute apple cider vinegar
3 cloves garlic , finely minced
8 chicken drumsticks

Method

* Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk the hoisin sauce, water, soy sauce, garlic chili sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic.

* Lay the chicken drumsticks in a single layer in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Pour the sauce over the top and mix so that the chicken is well-coated in the sauce.

* Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the thickest part of the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Baste the chicken with some of the sauce in the baking dish then broil it for 5 minutes to lightly crisp and brown the skin.
