Ingredients:
- 10-12 chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard (if using), ground ginger (if using), salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade and sauce.
- Coat the Drumsticks: Place the chicken drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, making sure they are evenly coated. You can also marinate them in the fridge for 30 minutes for extra flavor.
- Bake the Drumsticks: Bake the chicken drumsticks for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and golden brown. Halfway through, baste the drumsticks with the sauce from the pan for extra flavor and to keep them juicy.
- Serve: Once the drumsticks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
