Main Ingredients
- 500g chicken drumettes
- 200ml milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To effectively remove any gamey odor from the chicken drumettes, soak them in 200ml of milk for at least 30 minutes. This process not only tenderizes the chicken but also ensures a clean flavor.
Step 2
After soaking, rinse the chicken drumettes thoroughly and pat them dry. Score the meat by making a few shallow cuts with a knife. This scoring allows the glaze to penetrate deeply, ensuring maximum flavor in every bite.
Step 3
For an extra layer of flavor and to further eliminate any residual odor, sprinkle the scored drumettes generously with black pepper. This acts as a preliminary seasoning.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the delectable soy sauce glaze. In a bowl, combine 40ml soy sauce, 15ml oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 20ml liquid allulose (or sugar), and 1 Tbsp mirin (or cooking wine). Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Add half of the prepared soy sauce glaze to the scored chicken drumettes. Gently toss and massage the glaze into the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. This initial marination is crucial for flavor.
Step 6
Place the glazed drumettes in a pan and cook over medium heat. Avoid high heat, as it can burn the glaze and leave the chicken undercooked. Medium heat allows the chicken to cook through evenly and absorb the flavors beautifully.
Step 7
Once the chicken is about halfway cooked and has started to brown, pour in the remaining soy sauce glaze. Continue to stir and cook, allowing the glaze to thicken and coat the drumettes as it reduces.
Step 8
Continue simmering until the glaze has thickened and beautifully coats the chicken drumettes, giving them a glossy finish. Your delicious soy sauce glazed chicken drumettes are ready to be served and enjoyed!
