Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. Chicken drumsticks
  • ⅓ cup Soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 1 Lime juice and zest
  • 5 Garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp. green onions minced
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. avocado oil or any neutral oil

Instructions

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Pour over top of chicken drumsticks, making sure they are evenly coated. Keep in bowl or place into a ziploc bag to ensure they are fully covered in the marinade.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour and up to overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 F. Place chicken drumsticks into a baking dish along with any remaining marinade.
  • Bake for 1 hour, flipping them halfway through. The internal temperature of the chicken should measure 180-185 degrees when using a meat thermometer.
  • Serve as is, or place under the broiler on High for 3-4 minutes to crisp up the skin. Be sure to watch closely to avoid burning.
