24) Honey Soy Glazed Drumsticks

Sticky, salty, and a little sweet. Drumsticks are underrated for weeknight cooking — they're cheap, forgiving, and kids pick them up and eat without any complaints about "weird textures." This glaze caramelizes in the oven over the last few minutes and turns these into something that looks way more

Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels so the skin can crisp.
  3. Place the drumsticks on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Mix soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, olive oil, and pepper in a bowl.
  5. Brush the sauce over each drumstick, coating all sides.
  6. Bake for 35 minutes, turning the drumsticks halfway through.
  7. Spoon more sauce from the pan over the top and bake 5–10 more minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F inside.
