Glazed Chicken Drumsticks are juicy, oven-baked or grilled chicken legs coated in a sweet and savory glaze. Perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings, these drumsticks are flavorful, tender, and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it.
  2. Pat chicken drumsticks dry and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Arrange drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  5. After 25 minutes of baking, brush drumsticks with glaze and return to the oven.
  6. Bake for another 15–20 minutes, brushing with additional glaze halfway through, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and nicely caramelized.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds.

Notes

  • You can also grill the drumsticks over medium heat, basting with glaze as they cook.
  • Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the honey in the glaze.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated the next day.
