Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the chicken drumettes thoroughly under running water. Then, to remove any unpleasant odors, place the drumettes in a bowl with 200ml of milk and let them soak for about 30 minutes. After soaking, discard the milk and lightly rinse the drumettes under cold water. Pat them dry. This soaking process is effective in eliminating any gamey smell.
Step 2
The secret to delicious braised chicken drumettes lies in this glaze! In a separate bowl, combine 3.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp mirin, a pinch of black pepper, a pinch of salt, and 100ml of water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Feel free to adjust the amounts of sugar or soy sauce to create your own perfect balance of sweet and salty.
Step 3
Now, let’s start cooking! Place the prepared chicken drumettes in a pot or a deep pan. Add the large pieces of leek, sliced garlic, and the pre-mixed glaze. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the drumettes beautifully. Stir the drumettes occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated with the glaze. Your delicious braised chicken drumettes are ready to be enjoyed!
