Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

Chicken:

  • 5 lbs chicken drumsticks

For Garnish:

  • Sesame seeds and chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, orange juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and ginger. Reserve 2/3 cup of the marinade for later use. Marinate the chicken drumsticks in the remaining marinade for at least 6 hours.
  2. Bake the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake marinated chicken drumsticks for 25 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Broil for crispy skin.
  3. Make the Glaze: Simmer the reserved marinade until thickened into a syrupy consistency. Brush over the baked chicken.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chives before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
