Asian Glazed Chicken

I'd like to share with you Thursday nights dinner recipe, It was so very yummy! I think my husband ate 4 pieces of chicken and 1 cup of rice  : ) I ate two pieces and 1/4 cup of rice, I could have ate more but didn't want to be over full. I had a good time making this meal and it only took me 30 minutes to cook. My husband joined in the fun and made some delicious pink lemonade, which we call Dazzle Berry lemonade (from the kids show Yo Gabba Gabba it makes our daughter enjoy it even more). If you like Asian food try this out you wont be disappointed.. Enjoy!

Lemonade recipe is my husband's secret, only we know it : )

Recipe
- Asian Glazed Chicken
- 8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp Siracha hot sauce, optional (more or less to taste)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar 
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp chives or scallions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds

In a heavy large saucepan ( I use heavy large skillet), brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little olive oil .Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes. Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 10-12 minutes, until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occasionally. Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it starts becoming thick
Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.
Delicious!
