Description

A delicious recipe for crispy, juicy chicken drumsticks coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10–12 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce, low-sodium
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: Chili flakes
  • Optional: Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. Combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil in a medium bowl.
  3. Place the drumsticks in a resealable plastic bag or bowl, pour the marinade over them, and seal to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place them on the prepared rack.
  5. Bake the drumsticks for about 30 minutes, then switch to broil for an additional 5-10 minutes for crispiness.
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken overnight for better flavor. Pair with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables.
