Oh how I LOVE this dish! It’s super easy – you throw it all in a roasting dish, so there are very few dirty dishes. This is one meal that I’m certain our whole family will eat, even our very picky 5-year-old. Oh and did I mention it’s absolutely delicious?!

  • Remove from the oven, move the chicken over to one side of the dish and add the broccolini, bok choy and snow peas. Pour another one-third of the marinade over the greens. Then move the greens underneath the chicken, letting the drumsticks sit on top. Add the remainder of the marinade and sprinkle the sesame seeds onto the drumsticks. Roast for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
