Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the chicken wings in the brown sugar and soy sauce mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking. If you want a touch of spice, add minced garlic or ginger to the sauce. You can also substitute honey for some of the brown sugar for a different sweetness profile.
Serving Suggestions
These chicken drummies pair beautifully with a side of coleslaw or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Consider serving them alongside a dipping sauce, like ranch or blue cheese dressing, for added flavor. For a heartier option, serve with rice or a grain salad to balance the sweetness of the dish.

Leftover chicken drummies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This method helps maintain the crispy exterior.
