Golden and glazed, they soak up soy, oyster, and fish sauces while the spiciness of garlic and ginger reveals their depth of flavor. The final touch is fresh green onions and sesame seeds that add aromatic freshness to the dish. The drumsticks turn out tender inside and caramelized outside, perfectly pairing with rice or crunchy vegetables. This is an excellent choice for lovers of rich flavor combinations and quick yet exquisite cuisine.
