Juicy, oven-roasted chicken drumsticks glazed in a buttery garlic and honey sauce. Sweet, savory, and easy to prepare.
8 chicken drumsticks
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line or grease a baking dish.
Pat drumsticks dry. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a saucepan, melt butter and cook garlic for 1 minute.
Stir in honey and soy sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Pour glaze over drumsticks and coat thoroughly.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, basting once halfway through.
Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra caramelization.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
