    Increase the heat, turning the drumsticks frequently in the liquid, and cook until the liquid has reduced to a sticky glaze.

    P.S. For those who want EXTRA GLAZE, double the ingredients. You can put it over rice! Also, try in the crockpot and let it cook for 4 hours on low. The crock pot made the chicken so tender it was falling off the bone. You can add any ckicken parts you want.
