How to Make Drumsticks With Sesame And Ginger 4 Ww Points

  1. In a gallon-sized zip-top bag, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs chicken drumsticks to the bag. Squeeze out excess air and seal tightly.
  3. Turn the bag to coat the drumsticks evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Line a large roasting pan with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Spread 1/4 cup sesame seeds on a plate.
  7. Remove chicken drumsticks from the marinade; discard the marinade.
  8. Dip each drumstick in the sesame seeds, coating one side.
  9. Place the drumsticks, seeded-side up, in the prepared roasting pan.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
