   2 1/2  pounds        chicken drumsticks
     1/2  cup           flour
     1/4  cup           vegetable oil -- (approx.)
     1/2  cup           maple syrup
   2      tablespoons   cider vinegar
   2      tablespoons   dry sherry
   2      tablespoons   soy sauce
   2      teaspoons     ground ginger

     1/2  teaspoon      pepper
                        minced green onions -- optional

In large bowl, combine chicken and flour.  Toss to coat well, shaking off
excess flour.  In large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over
medium-high heat.  Cook chicken in batches, about 5 minutes, turning
frequently and adding more oil as needed, until golden.

Arrange chicken in single layer in 11 X 7" baking dish.  In small bowl, whisk
together remaining engredients (except green onions) and pour evenly over
chicken.

Bake, uncovered, in 325F degree oven for 30 minutes.  Turn the chicken over;
bake for 45 minutes or until the glaze has thickened.

Serve garnished with minced green onions.

NOTES : This recipe came from a very dear Canadian friend of mine (and fellow
Ex-Pat in Saudi), Linda St. Pierre who, in turn, got it from her
sister-in-law, also named Linda St. Pierre.  Can be used with pretty much any
kind of chicken pieces.
