🧂 Ingredients

1 pkg chicken drum sticks (12)
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
½ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup molasses
2 cloves sliced garlic
1 cup chicken stock

Instructions

1 Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
2 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.
3 Sear the chicken on all sides until deep golden brown.
4 Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute.
5 Add the molasses and balsamic vinegar and cook until the sauce is thick enough
that a line drawn on the bottom of the pan stays for at least 1 second.
6 Add the stock, bring to a boil, cook for 3 minutes on high heat, and then put
the pan in the oven at 350°f for 20 minutes.
7 Remove the chicken from the oven, flip and put it back in the oven for another
10 minutes.
8 Once the chicken is cooked, put it on a platter. Put the pan back on the stove
on high and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes or until thick.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
