Asian Glazed Drumsticks

These Asian Glazed Drumsticks are delish.  And this is coming from someone who really doesn't like Asian food, at.all.  I just had to try these after seeing some rave reviews about them on Gina's blog.  They are sensational.  I do think they are a tiny bit spicy but keep in mind I have a very low tolerance for spicy food, so if you like spicy follow the recipe as is, if your a wimp like me, I'd tone down the Sriracha sauce a tad.  Other than that these are wonderful and they look so pretty with the sesame seeds as well.  Something has to be said for food that looks pretty right?

Asian Glazed Drumsticks
 
8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed 

Pam spray oil
1 cup water
1 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce (more or less to taste)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 tsp agave nectar (or sugar)
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp chives or scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds

1.  In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil. Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, agave, 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 8 minutes until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it start becoming thick) Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.
