This Low Carb Sticky Baked Chicken is going to surprise you. It's almost too easy to taste this good. The warm spices and sticky sweet sauce are perfectly splendid together.

Bake it or throw it on the grill if you don't want to heat up the kitchen.

🥘Ingredients

  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup Allulose

Allulose is a "rare" sugar. Meaning that it behaves like sugar and will give your chicken the same "stickiness" that the high carb stuff would.

Or in the sticky chickens case, honey.

If you use another type of low carb sweetener it may not have the same effect. You can find a great deal on allulose here.

  • ½ teaspoon Maple Extract *optional but good
  • 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 6 chicken drumsticks * or thighs

👩‍🍳How to make the Sticky Chicken:

  • In a bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, allulose, maple extract, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and black pepper. Pour into a large ziplock bag and add chicken drumsticks. Shake to coat chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight, giving the bag a turn whenever you think about it.The longer you marinate, the better.
  • Preheat oven (or grill) to 400°F . Line a baking pan with parchment and add an oiled bake-able rack on top to get the crispiest results.

Obviously you'll omit the baking rack if you plan to grill these (of course right?)

  • Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade, and set the drumsticks on the rack. Bake the drumsticks, on the middle oven rack, for 25 minutes.
  • While the chicken is baking, pour the leftover marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Cook over low heat, stirring as needed, for about 15 minutes or until thickened.
  • Remove drumsticks from oven (after first 25 minutes of cooking) and coat with the thickened marinade, using a brush. Return to the oven and cook for 10 more minutes or until an internal temperate of 165°F is reached.
  • Coat the drumsticks one last time if there is any sauce left. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over them and serve with desired sides.

Break out the napkins because these are a delightfully gooey dinner treat.

Sweet and sticky chicken is crispy baked on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside. This addictive sticky sauce seals in the flavor and just might be the best baked chicken recipe ever.
