- 1kg Chicken Drumsticks
- 200ml soy sauce
- 80ml rice vinegar
- 15 whole garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 5 tablespoons Brown Sugar

Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl.
- Create the Marinade: In the same bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, whole garlic cloves, pepper, brown sugar, and bay leaves.
- Mix Well: Using your hands or a spoon, thoroughly mix the chicken with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Marinate the Chicken: Allow the chicken to marinate in the mixture for at least 5 to 10 hours. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly.

- Add Remaining Marinade: Pour any remaining marinade from the bowl onto the chicken in the pan.
- Cover and Cook: Place a lid over the frying pan, allowing the chicken to cook in its juices and the marinade. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked, tender, and infused with the teriyaki flavors.
- Cooking Process:
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the delicious teriyaki chicken drumsticks alongside steamed rice or your favorite side dishes, sprinkle sesame seeds for garnish! (optional)
