Health benefits of Citrus Soy Chicken Drumsticks Recipe | Myrecipes

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds), skinned
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
1/2 cup sake (rice wine)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

Combine chicken, ginger, and salt in a large bowl, tossing to coat. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken, and cook for 6 minutes or until browned on all sides. Add sake and next 4 ingredients (through lemon juice); cook 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Bring sauce to a boil. Cook until sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup (about 5 minutes). Return chicken to pan, turning to coat. Sprinkle green onions over chicken.
