Thought I'd post Nagi's recipe - it was so delicious and not difficult. Plus, as she stated you don't have to marinate it. I did, overnight, and am not sorry.
So here is the link Sticky Chicken Drumsticks in Chinese Plum Sauce .
I'm also listing the ingredients for you to check out, then if interested go to her site for the instructions. I actually used 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs. Plus, because I made the entire recipe for the sauce, there was a lot left. I saved it, have frozen it and will use again for more chicken.
I highly recommend, as she mentions, to use parchment paper. think I might have poked a hole as it leaked but it was certainly an easy clean-up. Those were some leftover canned mushrooms I threw in towards the end... they were great - I'll have to remember to do them again.
Finished plate with baked (micro) potato and steamed (micro) broccoli.
I used VH Plum Sauce. What I really like about this recipe is that it is not too sweet and not too salty - a perfect match.
