Print Recipe

A quick and easy 5-ingredient recipe for crispy, sticky, and spicy-sweet chicken drumsticks baked in the oven without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken drumsticks, skin-on and bone-in
  • 1/4 cup honey (85g)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (30ml)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (3g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup, then place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Add the drumsticks to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the glaze.
  4. Place the coated chicken drumsticks on the wire rack spaced evenly apart.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, flip the drumsticks and brush with any leftover glaze for even caramelization. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes after baking to lock in juices. Serve warm with extra glaze if desired.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before glazing for extra crispy skin. Use a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms or flip drumsticks halfway through baking if no rack is available. Watch the glaze closely to avoid burning; tent with foil if needed during last 5 minutes. Adjust sriracha amount to control heat level.
