Honey Garlic Chicken Drumsticks
Honey Garlic Chicken Drumsticks are sweet, savory, and packed with flavor, making them a perfect, easy meal with a delicious glaze.
Ingredients
- 10 chicken leg drumsticks
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. sesame oil
- ⅓ c. soy sauce
- 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Add the chicken legs to a large ziplock bag, then pour the sauce into the bag. Seal and shake the bag to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place the chicken legs in a 9x13 baking dish and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through, golden, and glazed.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or rice, and top with scallions, if desired.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken in a ziplock bag ensures the sauce coats every piece evenly, saving time and mess. For the best flavor, marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- To ensure your drumsticks are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F to be safe to eat.
- If you want an extra burst of flavor, baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through baking. This will help it get an even more flavorful, caramelized glaze.
- Let the drumsticks rest for about 5 minutes after removing them from the oven. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.
