Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure the skin crisps up during cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together tomato paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This will form your glaze.
Step 4
Place the drumsticks in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Pour half of the prepared glaze over the drumsticks and toss again until each drumstick is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
Step 6
Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 7
After 20 minutes, remove the drumsticks from the oven and brush them generously with the reserved glaze.
Step 8
Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite sides.
