Variety, I love it. I'm a huge fan of Asian, Vietnamese, and food from the Philippines. This is a play on Vietnamese flavours, as we have rice wraps that were given to us and I was craving notes of Ginger and Peanut. Rice wraps are very easy to make as well, I have a vegetarian version HERE if you wish to check it out.
The Chicken Drumsticks I made are not classically Vietnamese, but they are a different idea if you wish to mix the flavours into your meal. I have no problem with mixing flavours up from different parts of the globe.
I chose to bake the legs on a wire rack to cut out the fat a bit more. The glaze coats the chicken as it cooks, giving them a beautiful nutty sweet flavour. I add a little Chilli Garlic sauce to my own meals, but don't add the extra to the sauce as it's a little to hot for my husbands preference, but you can add a teaspoon or more to the glaze if you wish.
Please enjoy this recipe. There are several variations of chicken legs that I make. The posts are linked below.
Ingredients
6 Chicken Legs
Juice from a full Lemon
2 TBSP Peanut Butter (organic)
2 TSPS Fresh Ginger, Grated
3 TSPS Hoisin Sauce
2 TSPS Honey
1 TSP Garlic Powder.1/4 Cup Sesame Seeds
Mix the Peanut Butter, Hoisin Sauce, Honey, Lemon Juice, Garlic Powder and Ginger until smooth.
Evenly coat the chicken Legs with the Peanut butter mix.
Sprinkle Sesame Seeds over the legs, evenly distributing them over the legs.
Place on a wire rack, and place onto a baking dish (I used parchment paper to make the clean up easier.)Pre-heat your oven to Bake at 350 F
Total Bake Time 45 to 50 Minutes.
Turn the legs half way through to cook them evenly.
It's that simple.
You can serve the Chicken legs over rice, or we had Rice Wraps and made a side salad to go with them.
I do love plating, I took a little time added a little more Hoisin Sauce and Chilli Garlic sauce into a ramekin for dipping the rice wraps in. For that added touch, a few chopped peanuts and sesame seeds were sprinkled over top.
I have a set of chop sticks as well. I love to use them when I'm making Asian dishes. I can't help it, I'm very visual and love to take those little extra steps when I'm plating.I am currently in the works of writing out Calzone recipes. I have a few I have made already with different ingredients. I may get them posted today, but possibly not. I love food and flavours, but I also know a little exercise is in order. I have my priorities.
