A delightful twist on classic chicken drumsticks, featuring a sweet and savory glaze that will tantalize your taste buds.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a roasting pan and cover with foil.
Covering the pan helps retain moisture during baking.
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and cornstarch.
Mix the dry ingredients first to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Add water, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic to the saucepan. Stir well.
Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
Boiling activates the cornstarch, thickening the sauce.
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a heatproof baking dish.
Use tongs to handle the hot drumsticks safely.
Pour the prepared sauce over the drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Turn the drumsticks in the sauce for even coating.
Serve the glazed drumsticks immediately or keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
Garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds for added presentation.
