NOTES
1. Kecap Manis: An Indonesian sweet soy sauce is used in this recipe. If you don't have at home but have light soy sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, or dark soy sauce? Add two tablespoons of honey and one tablespoon of extra brown sugar to the soy sauce.
2. Sherry: Can be substituted with sake.
3. Use a mixture of oil and butter to brown the chicken drumsticks nicely. The fat gets hot using both, but the butter does not burn. And you get a nice crispy layer on the outside.
4. Done: It is important that your drumsticks are cooked (due to food poisoning). To check that, you measure the core temperature. It should be 80 °C. Don't have a thermometer? Prick the thickest part of the thickest chicken leg with a thick needle (;-)) then press the outside until moisture comes out. If the liquid is clear, the chicken leg is ready.
