"Wow, this dish took me right back to Asia! The smell alone is a 10/10 would cook again!"

Transport your taste buds to the vibrant streets of Thailand with these Thai Basil Chicken Drumsticks. Every bite offers a harmonious blend of savory soy, aromatic ginger, and the distinctive sweetness of rice syrup, rounded out by the heady fragrance of Thai basil. The meat, tender and dripping with flavor, pairs beautifully with a bowl of steamed white rice.

Not only is this dish incredibly flavorful, but it's also straightforward to prepare. It's perfect for those evenings when you want something delicious but aren't in the mood for a culinary marathon. Plus, Thai basil provides a unique twist to the familiar chicken drumstick dish.

Making It Your Own

Feel free to adjust the sweetness by using more or less rice syrup, or even try adding a splash of chili oil for a hint of heat. If Thai basil is hard to come by, regular basil can be used, though the flavor profile will shift slightly.
