<MISO CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS>
＜Yield> 4 servings
<Prep time> 2 minutes
<Cook time> 30 minutes (cooking in the oven)
<Ingredients>
12 chicken drumsticks (21oz/600g)
2 tablespoons rice wine
Marinade
1 tablespoons rice wine
3 tablespoons honey
2½ tablespoons yellow miso
1½ tablespoons Soy sauce
1 tablespoon, garlic grated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
<Optional toppings>
<Directions>
1. In a big ziplock bag, mix all the condiments listed above to make a marinade. Add in the chicken drumsticks. Then massage the drumsticks by making sure that they are all nicely coated with marinade. Let them sit in the fridge for 3 hours or possibly overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 200°C = 392°F. Line up the chicken drumsticks on a wire rack, then cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Pop them into the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and transfer the rack back into the oven. Continue to roast for another 10 minutes or until the chicken becomes nice and charred.
3. Put the leftover marinade into a saucepan and add in 2 tbsp of rice wine. Simmer over low heat until the sauce has thickened.
4. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and smother on the sauce. Sprinkle with some toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs if you want to. Now it's ready to be enjoyed!
<Miwa’s tips>
・The sodium content differs depending on which brand of miso you are using.
The sodium content of my miso is about 10%. Please adjust how much you are adding, somewhere between 2-3 tablespoons BUT it doesn't have to be too precise!! haha
・Since the marinade contains miso and honey, it will burn easily. Make sure to cover the chicken with aluminum foil. This way you can kind of steam the drum sticks in the first stage of cooking.
・Please don't toss the leftover marinade away. We are using it to make a sauce to layer on more flavor at the end.
・I often marinate the chicken and keep them in the freezer for meal prep. Then all you have to do is defrost them and pop them into the oven whenever you want to be lazy! Game changer right? haha

<Storage time>
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze them for 3 weeks before you roast them.
