Fig Glazed Chicken Legs
 
 
Ingredients
  • 10 to 12 chicken drumsticks (about 4 lbs)
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 5 sprigs of rosemary
  • 5 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 cup finely chopped dried mission figs
  • Dash of red pepper flake
  • Ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Place drumsticks on wire racks set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and brown in spots, about 30 minutes.
  3. While the chicken cooks, combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, garlic cloves, figs and red pepper flake in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir frequently until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs, then blend mixture with immersion blender.
  4. Brush the fig glaze on the cooked chicken. Return to the oven and cook for another 5 minutes to caramelize the fig glaze. Serve on a platter with any remaining glaze on the side.
