Pour into a large ziplock bag and add chicken drumsticks. Shake to coat chicken and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight, giving the bag a shake whenever you think about it. </li> <li>Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top. </li> <li>Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade, and place the drumsticks on the rack. Bake the drumsticks, on the middle oven rack, for 25 minutes. </li> <li>While the chicken is baking, place the leftover marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Cook over low heat, stirring as needed, for about 15 minutes or until thickened. </li> <li>Remove drumsticks from oven (after first 25 minutes of cooking) and heavily coat with the thickened marinade, using a silicone pastry brush. </li> <li>Return to the oven and cook for 10 more minutes. </li> <li>Coat the drumsticks again and return to oven to cook for 5 more minutes, or until an internal temperate of 160°F is reached. </li> <li>Coat the drumsticks one last time, with any remaining sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley. Serve immediately.</li> <li><em>Enjoy!</em></li> </ol><p>I also made a side of mashed carrots.  I boiled the carrots and then seasoned it with salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, and a squeeze of fresh orange juice. A well rounded meal?  :D  I went back for seconds! </p> </div></blockquote>http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803190355http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803190355Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:18:30 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyusvqCtAI1qlwwwjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://gastronomyfiles.tumblr.com/post/18179924575/calamari-fritti-by-aubreyrose" class="tumblr_blog">gastronomyfiles</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Calamari Fritti (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/aubrey_rose/3856461145/in/set-72157602123633276/">aubreyrose</a>)</p></blockquote>http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803102657http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803102657Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:17:27 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02k9481OX1qzxgjjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://vneckandacardigan.com/post/18392806952/chocolate-chip-lava-cookies" class="tumblr_blog">vneckandacardigan</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies</p></blockquote>http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803050211http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803050211Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:16:47 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzu6smxEKD1qdpdi4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://fattiesdelight.com/post/18401134477/bbq-salmon-burgers" class="tumblr_blog">fattiesdelight</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>BBQ Salmon Burgers</p></blockquote>http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803045615http://watchmeecook.tumblr.com/post/46803045615Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:16:43 -0400
