How to Make Asian Sticky Chicken Drumettes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic.
  3. Add chicken drumettes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the marinade.
  4. Place chicken drumettes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the sauce is sticky and caramelized. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Serve immediately over jasmine rice with a side of your favorite tossed green salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
