Jobless Drumettes

They are quick, inexpensive and easy to make. And since multi-tasking is the name of the game, they marinate and bake all while you job search. 1/2 cup of basalmic vinegar 1/2 cup of brown sugar 1/2 cup of honey 1/4 cup of soy sauce rosemary...fresh sprigs or dried as much or little garlic cloves, halved, as you like 8-12 chicken drumettes Mix up all the ingredients in a re-sealable bag, shake or stir to dissolve the honey and brown sugar. You can marinade all day if you like, but at least 1-2 hours to let all the flavours soak in. Line a baking sheet (I use a jelly roll pan) with foil. Place the drums on the foil lined pan (you will free up more time for job searching or watching the foodnetwork instead of scraping off bits of carmelized marinade if you do this). Bake at 425 degrees F for about 30 minutes. Save the marinade. During the last 5 minutes of baking, put the marinade in a skillet and bring to a boil to kill bacteria. After boiling for a minute or so, remove from heat and let rest. It should be a thicker, glaze-like consistency. Brush onto drumettes when they're finished baking. If you used rosemary sprigs, don't put these in the marinade when you boil it. You can sprinkle the drumettes with sesame seeds if you like, for a nice crunchy texture. If you used dried rosemary needles in the marinade, I recommend not topping with sesame seeds as it will already be coated with the rosemary needles. *Giada, you may take credit for this recipe as it is one of yours that I slightly adapted.
