Honey Garlic Drumsticks Recipe

American · Main course · 50 min total

Sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic drumsticks are a crowd-pleasing oven-baked chicken dish that's easy to prepare with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

• 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 lbs)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Place drumsticks in a large bowl, pour the honey garlic mixture over them, and toss to coat evenly.
4. Arrange drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve remaining sauce.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, then brush drumsticks with reserved sauce. Flip and brush again.
6. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and glaze is sticky. For extra caramelization, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
7. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Tips

• For extra sticky glaze, baste with additional honey mixture halfway through baking.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or microwave until hot.
