Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lbchicken drumsticks
- 2 clovesgarlic
- 1 (1 inch) pieceginger root
- 2 (8 oz) pkgsugar snap peas
From the pantry: black pepper, cornstarch, honey, rice vinegar, salt, sesame seeds, soy sauce, virgin coconut oil
Cookware
baking sheet pan · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · oven mitts · stainless steel or cast iron skillet · tongs · vegetable peeler · whisk or fork
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F and place a baking sheet on a rack in the center to heat.
- Mince the garlic and grate or mince the ginger so they’re ready to mix.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together a little water with cornstarch, then add garlic, ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and soy sauce; stir until combined.
- Toss the chicken in the prepared sauce so each piece is coated.
- Line the hot baking sheet with foil, arrange the chicken on it, and keep the remaining sauce for brushing later.
- Bake the chicken until it is golden and cooked through, about 25–30 minutes, brushing with the reserved sauce a couple times during cooking.
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat; rinse the sugar snap peas and pat dry.
- Add a little oil to the skillet, then the peas; season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and tender-crisp, 4–5 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with the sugar snap peas on the side and sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish.
Two tips
- Make the sauce ahead up to the point of mixing, then refrigerate for up to 1 day.
- Leftover sauce can be brushed on reheated chicken for extra glaze; if desired, serve peas on the side with a light sprinkle of sesame seeds.
