Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (or other hot pepper sauce)
  • black pepper
  • 16 chicken drumsticks
  • shallots
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • cornflour, to thicken

Instructions
 

  • In a sauce pan add the honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sriracha and season to taste with black pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the temperature and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugars have dissolved and the sauce is beginning to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • In the bowl of a slow cooker, add the chicken drumsticks and pour the sauce over. Move the chicken around a bit with tongs to coat completely. Put the lid on and cook on high for 4 hours, flipping chicken a couple of times during the cooking process. Just before serving, sprinkle with shallots and sesame seeds.
  • Serve with steamed white rice and your favorite veggie and devour!
  • Optional: once cooked place drumsticks on a baking tray and glaze with marinade, place into a 180 degree pre-heated oven until just going slightly crispy. Put sauce into a small saucepan and thicken with cornflour, pour this on top of chicken to serve.
