Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro chopped, (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken drumsticks in a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the drumsticks are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated drumsticks on the wire rack, leaving some space between each piece.
- Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the skin is crispy. You can brush on any remaining marinade halfway through the cooking time for extra flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for garnish, if desired, and serve hot.
- Enjoy!
