🍯 Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken:
Place the drumsticks in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal tightly, and massage the bag so every piece is coated.
For best flavor, marinate in the refrigerator overnight or up to 24 hours.
If you’re short on time, massage the chicken in the bag for 5 minutes to help the flavors soak in.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the chicken and all the marinade into a baking dish in a single layer.
Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 185°F (85°C) and the tops are beautifully browned.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and spoon the pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor. Serve hot with your favorite sides — mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or roasted veggies pair perfectly.
Tip:
If you love a caramelized glaze, broil the drumsticks for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking — just until they turn glossy and sticky!
