Description

Juicy chicken drumsticks coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze that caramelizes beautifully while baking.


Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Place the chicken drumsticks in a baking dish and pour the honey garlic mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, basting halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
  5. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving if desired.

Notes

Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking for even cooking. Consider marinating overnight for enhanced flavor.
