Asian Chicken Drumsticks

I'm not sure how it happened, but this week completely got away from me. It was a busy week at work, I had some computer issues and by yesterday afternoon I was completely exhausted. I did manage to cook dinner for my boyfriend, Stephen, earlier this week, I just hadn't gotten around to posting it. But next week I'm on Spring Break and I intend to do lots of cooking. I'm so excited.
