Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 8 chicken drumsticks in a large baking dish and pour the honey-soy mixture over them, turning to coat all sides evenly.
  3. Step 3: Roast the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, basting with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is caramelized and sticky.
