Ingredients
– 2 pounds chicken drumsticks
– ½ cup honey

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Creating mouthwatering BBQ Chicken Drumsticks with Honey Glaze is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) for even cooking.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the drumsticks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
3. Make the Honey Glaze: In a bowl, mix honey, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Marinate the Drumsticks: Place the chicken in a large bowl or Ziploc bag. Pour the honey glaze over the drumsticks and mix until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes; the longer, the better!
5. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the chicken cook uniformly. Arrange the drumsticks on the rack.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, brush more honey glaze over the chicken for an extra layer of flavor.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
