Japanese Mum's Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

1. 8 chicken drumsticks, skin on (the skin is important for flavour, and is so tasty to eat!)
2. 1 cup water 
3. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 
4. 1/3 cup soy sauce 
5. 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar 
6. 1 garlic clove, peeled and bruised 
7. 1 small hot chili pepper, slit open, seeds removed 

Directions:

• Place all the ingredients in a saucepan over a high heat. 
• Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes. 
• Remove any scum that rises to the surface. 
• Increase the heat, turning the drumsticks frequently in the liquid, and cook until the liquid has reduced to a sticky glaze. 
• Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, remove the garlic clove and chili from the liquid, and spoon the glaze over. 
• NOTE It's a glaze rather than a sauce, so there's not a whole lot of it.
