Hot Honey Baked Drumsticks
Chicken drumsticks are coated in a bold dry rub then brushed with a homemade hot honey before baking until crispy. Delicious, easy dinner idea!
Ingredients
- 8-10 chicken drumsticks, skin on
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (or more if you like spicy)
- 1/2 cup raw honey (good quality)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce (or more if you like spicy)
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a sheet tray with non stick foil. Set aside.
- Place drumsticks in a large bowl. Mix seasonings in a small bowl then sprinkle on to the chicken. Use tongs to toss and coat evenly with the spice mixture. Place drumsticks on the lined sheet tray.
- Add honey, butter, Worcestershire, and Tabasco to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes or until ingredients are melted and stirred together. Reserve 3-4 tablespoons.
- Brush remaining hot honey on the drumsticks. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165° F. If desired, turn on broiler at the end for a few minutes for even crispier skin.
- Place drumsticks on a platter, drizzle with reserved honey and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- These would work great grilled or air fried as well.
