- 2 lbs chicken drumsticks
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that cooking magic happening!
- In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all together like it’s a dance party in there!
- Put your chicken drumsticks in a large resealable bag and pour the honey garlic mixture over them. Seal the bag and shake it like you mean it, making sure those drumsticks are coated thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you can resist for a few hours, that’s even better!
- Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup (because we all know how messy things can get). Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
- Arrange the marinated drumsticks on the wire rack. This will ensure they cook evenly and get nice and crispy. No soggy bottoms on our watch!
- Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep an eye on them; the goal here is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.
- When they are golden and irresistible, pull them out and let the aroma engulf your kitchen. Top with sesame seeds and green onions if you like, and serve!
