Ingredients
  

10 chicken drumsticks

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, and paprika until well combined.

      Marinate the Drumsticks: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleaning and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated drumsticks on the wire rack, making sure to leave space between each piece for even cooking.

          Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the olive oil over the drumsticks for extra crispiness.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. You can baste the drumsticks with the remaining marinade halfway through the cooking time for extra flavor.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your sweet and savory drumsticks with your choice of sides!
