2 tbsps

Chili Powder

Directions:

1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, Marsala wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, chili powder, and red pepper flakes until the sugar is dissolved

Put the chicken drumettes in a 1-gallon size, resealable plastic bag

Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange in a single layer on the prepared pan

Season the chicken with salt, to taste, and bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes

10

Meanwhile, put the marinade into a small saucepan

11

Whisk in the arrowroot or cornstarch, if using, and bring to a boil over medium heat (in order to kill bacteria)

Using a pastry brush, brush some of the cooked marinade over the chicken or pour it into a small bowl and serve on the side
