Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb chicken drumettes
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Pat drumettes dry and season with garlic powder and pepper.
  3. Bake 30 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through.
  4. Whisk barbecue sauce, honey, and soy sauce.
  5. Toss the drumettes in the sauce and return to the oven 10 to 12 minutes until sticky.
  6. Serve hot with napkins.

Notes

Patting the drumettes really dry before baking is the trick to crisp, not soggy, skin.
