Honey Garlic Glazed Chicken Drumsticks

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels, then season them evenly with salt and black pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the drumsticks for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned on all sides.

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and minced ginger to create the glaze.

Arrange the seared drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush half of the honey garlic glaze generously over the chicken drumsticks.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove, brush with the remaining glaze, and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve warm.
