Chicken drumsticks are marinated in a sweet and spicy orange marinade, then baked in the oven until the marinade forms a delicious, sticky glaze on the surface. Asian food lovers will love this combination of flavors. Serve as a beer appetizer or as a main course with rice.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a large zip-lock bag, combine the onion, orange juice, ketchup, orange marmalade, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, five-spice powder, paprika, black pepper, and garlic. Seal the bag and shake well. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag. Seal and refrigerate to marinate for at least 1 hour. You can marinate overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  3. Place the entire contents of the bag on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning the drumsticks halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the drumstick (away from the bone) registers 160°F (71°C), about 25 minutes.
  4. Transfer the chicken legs to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
