2 tablespoons	30ml	Sesame seeds
		Spicy Coating
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	White vinegar
2 tablespoons	30ml	Ketchup
1 tablespoon	15ml	Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon	15ml	Garlic clove - coarsely crushed (large)
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Chili powder

Recipe Instructions

Make the Spicy Coating: Puree the oil, vinegar, ketchup, mustard, onion, sugar, garlic, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor until fairly smooth.

Make 3 deep cuts in each chicken drumstick, arrange in a single layer in a shallow ovenproof dish, and spoon the spicy coating over them. Sprinkle with half of the sesame seeds.

Bake in a 375 degree oven, basting, for 30 minutes, until the drumsticks are cooked. Turn halfway through cooking and sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds.

This recipe yields 12 drumsticks.

Red Chili Variation: Omit the spicy coating. Combine 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon mild chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon oregano. Coat the drumsticks; wrap each one in a slice of bacon. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the drumsticks are cooked through.
