SPICY LEMON HONEY CHICKEN

It's almost the last week of March.. I realized I did not post anything this month.. we were away for 10 days vacation, had a road trip to Northern California, drove along the coastline of CA, Highway 1 is very beautiful and we were lucky because we got abundant sunshine, though it was windy and freezing cold... we camped in a tent in a campground at Big Sur, it was fun, though so cold, we had to snuggle tight in a small tent, we could not sleep well, because we slept on a hard surface (note to myself, next time gotta bring airbed underneath our sleeping beds), my back hurt the next day, so we decided to stay in hotel rooms or at least in a cabin room for the rest of our trip, the fun part was cooking on a picnic table, very simple meal, well...  typical camping foods, ramen, sandwich or canned soup, the grocery prices in the stores there were pain in my wallet, so we tried to eat what we brought with us.. overall the trip was nice, fun and a good way to spend our quality time together..  I'll post some pictures of the amazing views we visited..

Now let's talk about my chicken.. I bought some fresh chicken drumsticks for .79 cents/lbs on a Monday sale, bought 2 packs, about 20 pieces, today I cooked 1 pack, I cooked it with chicken wing's recipe on my mind, as chicken wings costs more, so these drumsticks will do.. they taste so good..  I know I have to write down the recipe for my future use

the sauce

Ingredients:
- 10 pc of Chicken drumsticks, wings or any part of chicken
- 1 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice, divide
- salt and black peppers
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1 tbsp of chili sauce
- 1 tsp of fried garlic
- 1 tsp of grated ginger
- 1 tbsp of butter
- sugar if needed

Method:
- wash chicken, pat dry with paper towel, place them in a big roasting pan
- sprinkle with 1/3 of lemon juice, salt and blackpepper
- cover with aluminum foil, bake for 1 hours
- meanwhile, heat butter in a small pan, add grated ginger, stir until  fragrant
- add the rest of lemon juice, honey, chili sauce, black pepper, add salt and sugar if needed
- add fried garlic, cook and bring it to boil
- reduce the heat, simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickened
- after 1 hour, pour the excess juice from the chicken ( I save it for later, to cook brown rice or couscous)
- add the sauce, coat evenly, actually I let the chicken sit for a few hours
- bake again in a preheated oven (350'F) for another 30 minutes, flip over every 10 minutes
- set the oven to broil, then broil for another 5 minutes
- serve 4, on steamed rice or dinner rolls
- for dipping... this sweet chili sauce is really a good match to it
