Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the honey glaze. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the drumsticks on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is sticky and caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, toss 2 cups carrot sticks with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven alongside the chicken for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
  5. Step 5: Serve the honey-glazed chicken drumsticks hot with the roasted carrot sticks on the side.
