A delightful twist on classic chicken drumsticks, featuring a sweet and savory glaze that will tantalize your taste buds.
Combine the soy sauce, garlic, onion, white pepper, honey, and sherry in a small saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly to prevent the honey from sticking to the pan.
Heat the mixture over low heat until the honey dissolves and the ingredients are well combined.
Avoid boiling the mixture to preserve the delicate flavors.
Remove the skin from the chicken drumsticks and score the flesh at intervals.
Scoring the chicken helps the marinade penetrate deeper for more flavor.
Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Ensure the grill is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
Grill the chicken drumsticks over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Brush the chicken with the remaining marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
This step adds a glossy finish and enhances the flavor.
Serve the drumsticks hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
