Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons oyster sauce (Lee Kum Chee is the best brand. I buy mine in bulk at an oriental market)
- 4 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cooking sherry
- 2 tablespoons pancake syrup (while it may seem bizarre, this is the most important ingredient. The syrup caramelizes as the chick)

Instructions
Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a zip-lock bag. Add chicken. Marinade overnight.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a medium-sized baking pan with aluminum foil and sprinkle the bottom of the pan with salt
Dump the contents of the bag (including the sauce) into the pan. Arrange the drumsticks so that they are not touching each other.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for forty-five minutes.
Remove the top layer of foil and turn the chicken over. Bake for an additional fifteen to twenty minutes, until the top of the chicken is nicely browned.
Remove from oven.
I always serve this with white rice, and pour the drippings from the chicken over the rice.
