½ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup honey
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup soy sauce
5 fresh rosemary sprigs
5 garlic cloves, halved
10-12 chicken drumsticks
2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Combine balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, & garlic cloves in large bag. Shake & squeeze contents of bag to dissolve honey and brown sugar. Add drumsticks to bag & seal, squeezing out all the air, Marinate at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 450. Line baking sheet with foil. Remove chicken from bag, reserve the marinade, and arrange on baking dish. Bake until skin is carmelized, 30-35 minutes.
Meanwhile, place marinade in small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat & simmer & cook on low heat, 15 minutes.
Use pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds & chopped parsley.
