Balsamic Chicken Drumettes 4-6 servings

Courtesy: Giada de Laurentis

1/2 c Balsamic Vinegar

1/2 c honey

1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c soy sauce

5 sprigs rosemary

5 garlic cloves

10-12 chicken drumsticks

2 T sesame seeds

1/2 fresh flat leaf parsley

Combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and brown sugar. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Place chicken drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30-35 minutes.

Meanwhile, place marinate in a small saucepan. Bring marinade to a boil (in order to kil bacteria). Reduce heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Reserve.

Use pastry and brush some of cooked marinate on cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.
