Whenever I buy a rotisserie chicken or make a whole chicken at home my kids always fight over the drumsticks. I knew they would love this dinner because everyone would get a few of their very own drumsticks. So my kids loved that part of dinner, but they mostly loved the sweet, sticky, asian-inspired flavor of these yummy drumsticks.
