Sweet and Spicy Chicken Drumsticks Flavorful Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 bunch chopped green onions

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
4. Place the marinated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. For a crispy texture, you can broil the drumsticks for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the drumsticks for added flavor and crunch. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
