Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until combined and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Place 8 chicken drumsticks in a large baking dish and pour the honey-soy mixture over them, turning to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Bake the drumsticks for 35-40 minutes, basting with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is sticky and caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
