Lately I cook chicken very rarely &#8211; white meat is simply not my favourite. Even though it can taste delicious if it is cooked with skill, it&#8217;s just not to my taste. And you can never be sure how the chicken was raised and what exactly was it fed with to grow to the size of a dinosaur. That is why it is part of our meal plan even rarer. At home, we cook chicken mostly in soups or we roast the drumsticks with rice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the last couple of years I&#8217;ve had the feeling that there is hardly a restaurant menu that doesn&#8217;t include sesame chicken drumsticks or wings. With a hand on my heart I confess I have tried it only in the cases when my friends ordered this meal (personally I would never order it) and I have asked myself the same question over and over again &#8211; how could you eat that?! It doesn&#8217;t have any taste at all! Or to me at least&#8230; that is why I decided to cook\u00a0the chicken drumsticks myself and see if I can eat them\u00a0too. I can tell you they are super easy to make, scrumptious, especially while they are still hot, and I finished everything on my plate! Definitely the best sesame chicken drumsticks I&#8217;ve ever had.<\/p>\n<!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8199 size-full\" title=\"Sesame Chicken Drumsticks\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks.png\" alt=\"Sesame Chicken Drumsticks\" width=\"1136\" height=\"754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-400x265.png 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-600x398.png 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks-800x531.png 800w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sesame-Chicken-Drumsticks.png 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1136px) 100vw, 1136px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients for the sesame chicken drumsticks:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>6\u00a0small chicken drumsticks (around 600-700 g)<\/li>\n<li>2\u00a0tbsp sunflower oil<\/li>\n<li>2\u00a0garlic cloves<\/li>\n<li>2\u00a0tbsp soy sauce<\/li>\n<li>2\u00a0tbsp honey<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tbsp sesame<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp salt<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc\u00a0tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients for the garnish:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1\u00a0chicory head<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0pak choi<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tbsp olive oil<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd\u00a0tsp salt<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc\u00a0tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<li>sesame &#8211; for sprinkling<\/li>\n<li>balsamic vinegar\u00a0to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Sesame Chicken Drumsticks Preparation:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0\u0421 (top and base heat).
