INGREDIENTS

For drummettes

• 8 Québec turkey or chicken drummettes
• 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
• 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) pepper
• 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) paprika
• 2.5 (1/2 tsp) garlic powder
• 180 ml (3/4 cup) cornstarch
  

For glaze

• 30 ml (3 Tbsp.) honey
• 30 ml (2 Tbsp.) lemon juice
• 15 ml (1 Tbsp.) grated ginger
• 2 cloves crushed garlic
• 1-2 Thai chili peppers, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
2. Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika and sprinkle on both sides of drummettes.
3. Lightly dredge drummettes in cornstarch. Shake off excess.
4. Place drummettes on a baking tray, leaving space between pieces to ensure they are not touching. Bake for 30 minutes.
5. While baking, prepare glaze. Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.  You can adjust spice level by adding more or less chili based on your preference.  Set aside.
6. After 30 minutes, remove drummettes from the oven and generously brush on glaze.
7. Bake an additional 15–30 minutes until the skin is lightly browned and crispy, and the inside is cooked through.
8. Remove from the oven and brush generously with remainder of glaze. Serve immediately.
9. Drizzle with HICKORY BALSAMIC VINEGAR.
