Ingredients
  

10 chicken drumsticks

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, ground ginger, black pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well blended.

      Marinate the Drumsticks: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

        Prepare for Baking: Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Reserve the marinade for basting.

          Bake: Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove them from the oven and baste them with the reserved marinade.

            Crisp the Skin: Return the drumsticks to the oven and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

              Serve: Once done, let the drumsticks rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

                Enjoy: Serve these deliciously sticky and flavorful honey garlic drumsticks with your favorite side dishes.
