8 pieces Chicken Drumsticks Juicy and tender, these are the star of our dish.
1/2 cup Honey Brings sweetness and a beautiful glaze to the chicken.
4 cloves Garlic (minced) Adds rich flavor that complements the honey perfectly.
1/4 cup Soy Sauce Infuses umami and depth to the dish; you can use low-sodium for a healthier option.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps with roasting, keeping the skin crispy and delicious.
1 teaspoon Salt Simple seasoning to enhance all the flavors.
1 teaspoon Pepper Simple seasoning to enhance all the flavors.
to taste Fresh herbs (optional) Like rosemary or thyme for garnish.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place your drumsticks in a large bowl or zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them.
Ensure each drumstick is coated, using your hands if necessary.
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks skin-side up.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), then let them rest before serving.

For extra crispiness, broil the drumsticks for the last 2–3 minutes. Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
