Method
Marinating the Chicken
- Make small incisions on each chicken drumstick to allow the marinade to penetrate.
- Place the drumsticks in a tray.
- Add sliced garlic, cooking wine, and salt to the chicken. Mix well to ensure even coating.
- Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken

- Add the marinated drumsticks to the pan.
- Fry the drumsticks on both sides until they turn golden brown, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Preparing the Sauce
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, Redbloom chili oil, and water.
Combining Chicken and Sauce
- Once the chicken is golden brown, pour the prepared sauce over the drumsticks in the pan.
- Cover the pan and let the chicken cook in the sauce on low heat for about 8 minutes. The sauce will reduce and thicken, coating the drumsticks.
