Silverton Drummettes
Sweet and savory chicken drummettes glazed in soy and brown sugar, ideal for casual gatherings or game nights with bold flavors and tender meat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil the chicken drummettes until cooked through, then bone and remove the skin.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a saucepan, combine soy sauce and light brown sugar, and bring to a boil to create the glaze.
- Dip the cooked chicken drummettes into the hot broth, being careful not to boil too hard.
- Serve the drummettes coated with the glaze, optionally with biscuits on the side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken drummettes in the soy sauce and brown sugar mixture for a few hours before boiling. If you don't have light brown sugar, dark brown sugar can be used as a substitute for a deeper molasses flavor. You can also add minced garlic or ginger to the glaze for an extra kick. If you're short on time, pre-cooked drummettes can be used.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the glazed drummettes warm, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation. They pair beautifully with biscuits on the side for a comforting meal. For a complete dinner, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables, or browse more American recipes for additional ideas.

You can also reheat them in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to keep them moist.
