Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 medium garlic cloves minced
  • 2 medium green onions chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 4 lb chicken drumsticks (12 drumsticks)
  • 1 14 oz bottle 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

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and green onions. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add chicken to marinade. Cover and place into the fridge and allow chicken to marinate overnight or up to 24 hours.
  • Prepare: 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.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, 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 oven and brush 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 or until the juices run clear and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • After roasting increase the oven temperature to broil. Move the oven rack to the upper third of the oven.
  • Brush chicken 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 5-10 minutes.
  • Just before serving garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

Notes

If you're unable to find this ketchup, use regular ketchup and add sriracha sauce 1 Tbsp at a time adjusting to your personal taste.
