Sriracha-Hoisin Glazed Chicken Drumsticks are marinaded in a sweet, spicy Sriracha and hoisin glaze. They’re easy to make for an amazing weeknight meal!
It’s been a while since I last posted a recipe here. The Valentine’s Day printables are cool and all to have for a memorable VDay celebration but it’s time for something delicious. Something fabulous as sweet and spicy Sriracha-hoisin glazed chicken drumsticks.
These Sriracha-hoisin glazed chicken drumsticks are my go-to meal when I want amazing flavors but without the fuss. The chicken taste like you sweated for hours in the kitchen and yet hands-on time is 10 minutes tops! It starts with a thick concoction of Hoisin sauce, Sriracha, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic, and ends with finger-licking, lip-smacking chicken drumsticks everyone would be fighting over!
I debated for a good few seconds whether to transfer the drums on a serving platter or leave them on the foil-lined baking sheet for the quick photo-taking. Eventually, I chose to shoot them straight from the oven as I wanted to show you the sticky pan juices the chicken pieces are swimming in. Please, please, please, do NOT discard that glorious sauce. Spoon it over white steamed rice (or on mashed potatoes as G does) for an extra dose of yum. Enjoy!
Sweet and Spicy Sriracha-Hoisin Glazed Chicken Drumsticks
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce (I used Kikkoman)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 thumb size ginger, peeled and grated
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Rinse chicken under cold running water and pat dry.
- In a bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Stir until well blended.
- Add chicken and turn to fully coat. Cover and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Drain chicken from marinade, reserving liquid.
- Arrange chicken in a single layer on prepared baking sheet and bake in a 375 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, bring reserved marinade to a boil for about 7 to 10 minutes or until reduced.
- Remove chicken from oven and liberally brush with marinade on all sides. Return to oven and continue to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165 F.
- Increase oven temperature to a broil and move oven rack to upper third of oven. Liberally brush chicken pieces with marinade and broil for about 1 to 2 minutes or until nicely charred. Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.

Good call on shooting these beauties from the pan as these juices look outstanding.

These look really good. My husband would love the kick of the sriracha!
I am sure he’d love the bold flavors 🙂
I love anything that involves chicken and this looks absolutely delicious & mouth watering. The sweet & spicy version is always a hit with my kids as well and I am going to try this one sometime during a weekend!
My daughter loved this when she was little and still one of her favorite flavors. I am sure your kiddos will love it 🙂
My hubby enjoys sriracha sauce. He’ll enjoy this for dinner when I surprise him with it.
I am sure he’ll love it! Thanks, Tami
I like a little spice with my sweet dishes. Can’t wait to try this recipe next time I make chicken. It sounds like it packs a lot of flavor.
You are absolutely right, Cindy! This is so tasty!
wow! the name is too long but sounds very tasty! i should try the recipe!
Haha, yes, the name is a mouthful and yes, it’s very tasty 🙂
These look delicious. I have a hard time with anything spicy but my family are all ‘heat lovers’ when it comes to their wings. I will pin this recipe to keep on hand.
Thanks, Becky! I hope your family loves this!
This looks amazing! My husband would love if I made these for dinner. I will have to try out the recipe.
Thank you! I hope you both enjoy this!
Oh wow! This looks like a stunner! It’s definitely packed with flavor and it looks so good! I’m sure it’s going to be a hit with the kids as well since we all like spicy food.
Thanks, Elizabeth!
This looks seriously delicious, but I have to admit I have never tried anything with sriracha before because I am such a wimp when it comes to spicy! I can only take just a little bit of spice before it gets to be too much for me. I really like the sweet-spicy combo though.
Hi Julie! You can go easy on the Sriracha if you prefer it less spicy 🙂
Sriracha nad Hoisin – that must be a great spicy-sweet combo for the drumsticks!
Anything that has sriracha is a yummy recipe. The chicken cooks so well with sriracha in it.
Beautiful pictures and great tip on the sauce, love an easy side dish and that would be perfect with these yummy drummies!
This chicken packs some serious flavor. I love anything sriracha, so these are right up my alley.
Any recipe with sriracha is a favorite!
I made some of these not so long ago and my husband went mental for it. Seriously he couldn’t stop licking his lips and he keep asking me when i’d be making some more. xx
These look and sound delicious. I love chicken drumsticks, the kids love them to as they get to get messy whilst eating them!
My husband would go nuts for these! He loves anything and everything sriracha flavored. Definitely adding this to our weekly meal plan next week!
These drumsticks look truly amazing. I’ve always just used bbq sauce, I think it is time to switch things up a little and try this! Thanks for sharing.
These look amazing! I’m def making this!
Ooh these chicken drumsticks look so tasty and I’m loving the idea to spoon all the gorgeous pan juices over mad/rice. A fantastic dish thank you for sharing it. Sammie.
Loaded with calories but I just can’t help it drizzling it over my rice.
Thanks for the visit, Sammie 🙂
