This chicken dinner’s got rizz. First the drumsticks are baked to get a nicely crispy sesame-spiced exterior. Then they quickly get tossed in a bowl of tangy-sweet sauce for a kid-attracting finish. They come to the plate with tender-crisp green beans and fluffy rice.

- In a large bowl, combine the chicken*, a drizzle of oil, ¼ of the spices and S&P.
- Add the cornstarch; toss well.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and bake, flipping halfway, 30 to 35 min., until cooked through.
Cook the rice
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.

- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place

- Thinly slice the scallions crosswise.
Roast the green beans

- Roast, 5 to 8 min., until crisp-tender.
Coat the chicken
- Meanwhile in a second large bowl, combine the soy sauce, pineapple chili sauce and 1 tbsp oil.
- When the chicken is cooked through, transfer to the bowl of sauce; toss well.
Plate your dish
