A delightful twist on classic chicken drumsticks, featuring a sticky ginger soy glaze that is both flavorful and easy to prepare.
Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, ginger, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl until combined.
Use a whisk to ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth sauce.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a non-stick skillet and pour the sauce over them.
Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer for even cooking.
Cover the skillet with a lid and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the sauce from boiling over.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, turning the drumsticks occasionally.
Turn the drumsticks gently to avoid tearing the meat.
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the sauce thickens and caramelizes, coating the drumsticks evenly.
Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from burning.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
