A delightful twist on the classic baked chicken drumsticks, featuring a sticky honey garlic glaze.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Turn the drumsticks a few times to evenly coat them.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap if marinating for an extended period.
Bake the chicken uncovered for 1 hour, turning the drumsticks halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Basting the chicken with the marinade during baking enhances the glaze.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
