Japanese Chicken Drumettes, also known as teriyaki chicken drumettes, are a savory and sweet Japanese dish that are easy to make. Chicken drumettes are marinated in a flavorful sauce made from soy sauce, sugar, and red wine before being baked in the oven. The result is juicy, tender, and sweet drumettes that are perfect as a party food or a weeknight dinner. The toasted sesame seeds and fresh parsley add additional flavor and visual appeal to the dish, making it a surefire hit with everyone. The recipe can also be modified by using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of drumettes, and adjusting the marination time accordingly.
