Sweet Spicy Sticky Chicken {Perfect for Game Day!}

Are you excited about Super Bowl Sunday?  To be honest, I don't really have any idea who is even playing! Oops!  Sorry, I'm sort of oblivious to that sort of thing! But, I do know that my husband is looking forward to it and that he loves his game day snacks!  I've been trying out recipes on him for the last week or two and this is one of his favorites!  You could use the exact same marinade and make wings instead.  I just happened to have drumsticks on hand and decided to use them instead of making an extra trip to the store. These are prefect for game day or any type of party!  I hope you'll give them a try!  Enjoy!


Ingredients:
6 chicken legs (drumsticks) or substitute wings instead.
3/4 cups of Trader Joe's Island Soyaki Sauce (If you don't have Soyaki you could use 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce and 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce)
2 tbs. honey
generous pinch of red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you like your wings)
parsley or cilantro to garnish

Directions:
Marinate your drumsticks in sauce for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 8 hours.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Place chicken on a broiler pan coated in non-stick spray.  Place chicken in oven.  While chicken is cooking pour excess marinade in a small sauce pan over medium high heat.  Bring to a boil and cook until reduced (5 minutes) then remove from heat.  After chicken has been in the oven for about 10 minutes baste with reduced sauce.  Turn every 5 minutes and baste.  Continue to cook until they look like the ones above (takes about 25 minutes total).  Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
