Step 1

Place drumsticks in a 6.5-quart, or larger, slow cooker; set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, sriracha and ground ginger.

Step 3

Pour soy sauce mixture over the chicken drumsticks and gently toss to coat.

Step 4

Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. Chicken is cooked through when internal temperature register at 165˚F.

Step 5

If you’d like to thicken the sauce, make a slurry about 15 minutes before the chicken is done: in a small bowl or cup, whisk together water and cornstarch.

Step 6

Remove cover from slow cooker and stir the slurry into the sauce; recover and cook on HIGH heat for 10 to 12 more minutes, or until sauce has thickened.

Step 7

Serve drumsticks with sauce and top with sesame seeds and cilantro.
