Ingredients
- Chicken drummettes

Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken drummettes. Gather your ingredients:
1/2 cup of soy sauce,2 tablespoons of sesame oil,3 cloves of minced garlic,1 tablespoon of minced ginger, and1 bunch of chopped green onions.In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and chopped green onions. Stir until well mixed.
Add
2 pounds of chicken drummettes to the marinade. Make sure all the drummettes are coated evenly with the marinade.Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chicken to marinate. For best results, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight.
Preheat your oven to
375°F . Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.Place the marinated chicken drummettes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece. Discard any remaining marinade.
Bake the chicken drummettes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the cooked drummettes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green onions, if desired.
Tips
- Marination is Key: For the most intense flavor, allow your chicken to marinate overnight. The longer the drummettes sit in the marinade, the more deeply the flavors will penetrate the meat.
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee it's fully cooked and safe to eat.
- For Extra Crispiness: After baking, you can broil the drummettes for 2-3 minutes to create a slightly crispy exterior.
- Make Ahead Friendly: These drummettes can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance, making them perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of quick pickled vegetables or a light Asian slaw to complement the rich flavors of the drummettes.
