Sticky Drumsticks Recipe
This recipe is easy to prepare and yummy to eat! It seems to be a favorite with kids and makes nice leftovers for lunch the next day. It lives up to its name; it is a bit sticky but the chicken is worth it! Although this recipe calls for drumsticks, I would say that thighs would work just as well. You would have to adjust the cooking time slightly but they would be fine to use.
