Cuisine: Asian
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken drumsticks 
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 3/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup sweet Asian chile sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup chicken broth 
• 1- to 2-inch piece fresh ginger, roughly chopped 
• 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 
• 2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped fine (for garnish)  
• 1/4 cup toasted black and white sesame seeds, for garnish

Here's how to make them:

1. In a large bowl, mix the oil with the five-spice powder, salt and pepper. Add the chicken and toss. Arrange the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Roast for about 35 minutes in a preheated 400-degree F oven, turning occasionally, until cooked through to 165 degrees F internal temperature. 
2. While chicken is baking, in a standing blender or food processor, combine the hoisin sauce, chile sauce, rice vinegar, broth, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Puree until very smooth. Transfer to a saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. 
3. Transfer the cooked chicken legs to a bowl and toss with the warm sauce until completely coated. Place on a new lightly prepared foil-lined baking sheet and broil 6 to 8 inches from the heat, brushing with the sauce and turning occasionally, until glazed and sticky. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve.
