Honey-Soy Glazed Drumsticks

I had a spur of the moment dinner party the other night and I instantly thought of drumsticks as the main dish. They are quick and super easy, unless you have to marinade them overnight, but these don't need it. I made it the night before and just heated them up in the microwave (no need to heat up the oven again) and everyone licked their plates! I served the drumsticks on a bed of polenta alongside green beans with toasted cashews. Delicious!

Last time I made drumsticks, I used a cranberry-orange glaze but I wanted to do something different this time. I still wanted it to be sweet but not as fruity, so I chose a honey/soy glaze with sesame seeds. It came out moist, tender and sweet. Exactly what I wanted.

Honey-Soy glazed Drumsticks

adapted by Martha Stewart

12 drumsticks

1/2 cup honey

2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 garlic cloves, minced

Sesame seeds

salt 'n' peppa

1 Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Season drumsticks with salt and pepper, both sides.

2 Mix honey, soy sauce, garlic cloves, and some sesame seeds in a bowl.

3 Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil and lay the drumsticks in alternating directions in a row. Pour honey mixture over all the chicken and bake about 30-40 minutes, basting every 10 minutes.

4 Once chicken is done, transfer the remaining sauce in the pan to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened. Serve chicken with sauce.
