Ingredients for Baked Honey Soy Garlic Drumsticks

  • Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • Chicken Drumstick
  • Spring Onions

How to Make Baked Honey Soy Garlic Drumsticks

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch until smooth. Add the chicken drumsticks and toss to coat completely. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer (overnight for best results) in the refrigerator.
  3. Arrange the marinated drumsticks in a single layer in a baking dish.
  4. Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
  5. Serve immediately over a bed of fluffy steamed rice or creamy mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the baking dish over the chicken.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped spring onions or chives for a vibrant finishing touch.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
