A delectable baked honey glazed chicken recipe that combines sweet and savory flavors for a delightful meal. The chicken drumsticks are marinated in a flavorful mixture, baked to perfection, then glazed with a sticky honey sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 5 lbs chicken drumsticks

Marinade:

  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce*
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

Garnish:

  • Sesame seeds and chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, orange juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Reserve 2/3 cup of the marinade for later use, then refrigerate it.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large Ziploc or food saver bag, pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Turn the bag occasionally for even marination.
  3. Bake the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the marinated drumsticks skin-side up, and bake for 25 minutes. Flip the chicken and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  4. Broil for Crispy Skin: For crispy skin, broil the chicken skin-side up for 3-4 minutes until browned and crispy.
  5. Make the Glaze: Simmer the reserved marinade in a saucepan until thickened. Brush the glaze over the cooked chicken drumsticks.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chives before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • Make sure to pat the chicken dry before marinating for better absorption of flavors.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by altering the amount of honey to suit your taste.
