Name: Mouthwatering Chinese Chicken Drumsticks
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min

Ingredients: Marinade; 6 tablespoons dark soy sauce; 6 tablespoons oyster sauce (Lee Kum Chee is the best brand. I buy mine in bulk at an oriental market); 4 tablespoons orange juice; 2 tablespoons sesame oil; 2 tablespoons cooking sherry; 2 tablespoons pancake syrup (while it may seem bizarre, this is the most important ingredient.

Marinade
6 tablespoons dark soy sauce
6 tablespoons oyster sauce (Lee Kum Chee is the best brand. I buy mine in bulk at an oriental market)
4 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons cooking sherry
2 tablespoons pancake syrup (while it may seem bizarre, this is the most important ingredient. The syrup caramelizes as the chick)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
Meat
8 chicken drumsticks

1
Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a zip-lock bag. Add chicken. Marinade overnight.
2
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
3
Line a medium-sized baking pan with aluminum foil and sprinkle the bottom of the pan with salt
4
Dump the contents of the bag (including the sauce) into the pan. Arrange the drumsticks so that they are not touching each other.
5
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for forty-five minutes.
6
Remove the top layer of foil and turn the chicken over. Bake for an additional fifteen to twenty minutes, until the top of the chicken is nicely browned.
7
Remove from oven.
8
I always serve this with white rice, and pour the drippings from the chicken over the rice.
