Asian Inspired Honey-Vanilla Chicken

If you enjoy a favorable, moist meal, you will definitely enjoy this one. It is the marination that makes this chicken so moist. I felt rice was the perfect item to serve with this meal because it is Asian-inspired. I flavored the rice with some of the marinate. It tasted really good.

Honey-Glazed Chicken Drumsticks

Tried a new recipe as you can see. These chicken drumsticks were mighty tasty. This recipe is from Steven Raichlen which I originally found in Food and Wine.
Here is the recipe...

CHINA-HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS                                                          Servings: 6

Steven Raichlen Food & Wine Magazine June 2002

18 chicken drumsticks	¼ cup chopped cilantro
2¼ teaspoons salt	3 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
2¼ teaspoons freshly ground pepper	Vegetable oil, for the grill
2¼ teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder	6 tablespoons honey, warmed
4 garlic cloves, minced

1. Make 3 crosswise slashes down to the bone on the meaty part of each drumstick. Put the chicken in a large shallow baking dish.

2. In a bowl, mix the salt, pepper, five-spice powder, garlic and cilantro. Add the sesame oil; stir into a paste. Rub the paste in the slashes in the chicken and spread any remaining paste over the skin. Cover and

refrigerate for 2 hours.

3. Light a grill. Lightly oil the grate. Grill the chicken over a medium-hot fire, turning occasionally, for about 35 minutes, or until just cooked through. Brush the drumsticks with the honey and grill until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Serve hot.
