Honey Soy Baked Chicken Drumsticks

These oven-baked chicken drumsticks are blended in a simple honey soy marinade and cooked to perfection. These baked chicken legs are very tasty and very easy to prepare!




Ingredients :


  • 6 garlic cloves, pressed or grated
  • 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 12 drumsticks)
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced for garnish (optional)


Instructions :


  • In a large zip top bag, combine the garlic, ginger, oil, soy sauce, honey and ground black pepper. I massage the bottom of the bag to make sure the honey blends well with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks into the zip top bag, close and shake the bag to make sure all the chicken pieces get coated with the marinade. I like to massage the chicken a bit just to make sure the marinade penetrates every piece of chicken. Marinate for 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the chicken in a single layer on a baking pan or rimmed baking sheet (the marinade leftover in the bag can also be placed on the baking pan).
  • Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes or until cooked through.


Notes


  • Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees before its consumption.
  • If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of dried ginger.
  • Periodically, check on the chicken as it cooks. If the marinade seems to be drying up in the baking dish, add about 1/4 cup of chicken broth.
