Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 5 minutes
Servings: 14 drumsticks

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds chicken drumsticks about 14 drumsticks
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Large baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Tongs
  • rack and broiler pan

Method
 

  1. Rinse the drumsticks and pat them dry with paper towels, then place them in a large ungreased baking dish. If you prefer, remove the skin before marinating.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, oil, chili sauce, salt, ground ginger, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce over the drumsticks, turning each piece to coat evenly. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a broiler pan with foil and set a rack over it.
  5. Using tongs, transfer the drumsticks from the baking dish to the rack, and brush them with any sauce left in the dish.
  6. Bake the drumsticks for 50 to 60 minutes, basting once or twice if desired, until the meat is tender and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
