How to Make Baked Chicken Drummies

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Add 4 pounds of chicken drumsticks to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Alternatively, use a large zip-top bag for easy marinating and less cleanup.
  3. Cover the bowl (or bag) with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Arrange chicken drumsticks in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Larger drumsticks may require a few extra minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
