Sweet and Sticky Asian Drummies (slow cooker)


Sweet and Sticky Asian Drummies



These delicious chicken drumsticks have just enough sweet, sticky flavor to make you want to lick your fingers clean! 

Ingredients: (organic)

10 Chicken Drumsticks
1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Raw Honey (local)
1/3 cup Soy Sauce
2T Spicy Bean Paste
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
2T Fresh Grated Ginger
Cracked Black Pepper to taste

In a medium sauce pan mix all ingredients, except drumsticks, on medium high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Place your drumsticks in your slow cooker, pour the sauce over coating all the chicken and turn to high. Cook for 4 hours turning the drumsticks several times throughout. I accompanied mind with homemade rice pilaf and fried green beans with crumbled goat cheese.

1t Baking Powder
1t Cinnamon 
pinch of Sea Salt

Sift dry ingredients. In a food processor combine your banana, milk, honey and vanilla. Add your dry ingredients and mix well.
