¼ cup fresh peeled ginger, minced

½ cup honey

2 tablespoons crushed red pepper

4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

COOKING MUSIC SELECTION:  The History of Bourbon Whiskey as Told Through Bluegrass Music

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.
