Sticky Sriracha Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks – Sriracha, a spicy chili sauce common in Thai cuisine, is one of the fastest growing flavors sweeping restaurants and dining establishments around the country. I must admit, my family and I are huge fans. In keeping with the popularity of this spicy sauce the folks at Heinz have added this new Tomato Ketchup Blended with Sriracha Flavor to their specialty ketchup line-up.
When they reached out last year to share about this new product and asked me to try it and use it in a recipe, I was thrilled! The ketchup is infused with spicy chili pepper and garlic flavors. These classic flavors together with the sweetness of the tomato makes it a perfect combination.
Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended with Sriracha Flavor would taste great on most anything, but chicken immediately came to my mind. These sticky Asian-inspired barbecue chicken drumsticks have been family tested and approved, earning a 5 star rating and a regular spot on our revolving
dinner menu. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Ingredients you’ll need:
1 | cup | brown sugar, packed |
1 | tsp. | red pepper flakes |
1 | tsp. | ground ginger |
3 | garlic cloves, minced | |
2 | green onions, chopped | |
1 | tsp. | sesame oil |
1 | cup | soy sauce |
1 | Tbsp. | rice wine vinegar |
4 | lb. | chicken drumsticks |
1 | bottle | (14 oz.) Heinz® Tomato Ketchup Blended with Sriracha Flavor |
¼ | cup | honey |
¼ | cup | hoisin sauce |
1 | Tbsp. | toasted sesame seeds, optional |
1 | green onion, root trimmed and cleaned, optional |
Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and chopped green onions. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Using a paper towel, pat dry chicken and add to marinade. Cover and place into the fridge and allow chicken to marinate overnight or up to 24 hours.
To prepare the chicken, preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray an oven safe grill pan or broiler pan with cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Discard the marinade. Arrange the chicken pieces on the pan.
Place chicken into the preheated oven for 20 minutes. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the Heinz® Tomato Ketchup Blended with Sriracha Flavor, honey and hoisin sauce. Divide in half and set aside.
After 20 minutes remove chicken from the oven and brush the chicken pieces with 1/2 of the sriracha barbecue sauce on all sides. Turn the chicken pieces. Return to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes ensuring the chicken reaches 165°F as measured by a thermometer.
After roasting, increase the oven temperature to broil. Move the oven rack to the upper third of the oven. Brush the chicken pieces with additional sriracha barbecue sauce. Broil on each side for 1-2 minutes to char. Do not walk away. Use tongs to carefully turn the chicken. After charring, rest for 10 minutes. Just before serving garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
