Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and arrange the marinated drumsticks in a single layer.
Step 4
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
While the chicken bakes, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
Step 6
Brush the baked drumsticks with the thickened marinade and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy the drumsticks with steamed rice or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
