If you are looking for a great easy Super Bowl recipe that everyone will love, TRY THESE! They are sweet, tangy, and little spicy and easy to bake in the oven. The whiskey gives these a richness that takes it over the top!

INGREDIENTS:

6 tablespoons butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup fresh peeled ginger, minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
½ cup Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
12 chicken drumsticks
¼ teaspoon Chinese Five Spice powder
salt and pepper

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic, ginger cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Turn off heat. Add soy sauce, honey, whiskey, crushed red pepper and cilantro. Stir to combine.

Arrange drumsticks in a single layer in a baking dish. Sprinkle generously with salt, black pepper and 5 spice powder. Pour the sauce over the drumsticks and roll to coat evenly.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. I turned the broiler on for the last 5 minutes to crisp up the skin a bit. Garnish with cilantro and serve
