Teriyaki Drumsticks

Bottled teriyaki sauce seems like a great shortcut until you realize it’s packed full of preservatives, extra sugar and salt. There’s no need to waste your money on inferior sauce when you can make your own fresh at home with just a few pantry staples. Mirin, a sweet Japanese rice wine, can be found in the Asian section of your supermarket. If you can’t find it, you’ll still get great results by substituting sake or a dry white wine. These drumsticks make a fun take-out style meal with just a side of rice and a green salad.

Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place the drumsticks on a June Roasting Rack set in a foil-lined June Pan. Reserve the remaining marinade. Insert the June Food Thermometer into the center of the fleshiest part of the thickest drumstick, carefully avoiding the bone.

Make the sauce

While the chicken cooks, make the sauce. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a small pot and strain the remaining marinade into the pot, discarding the solids. Cook the marinade over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and the consistency of a syrup, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the glaze.
