Ingredients:
* 1 pack of drumsticks
* 1 cup honey
* 1/2 cup Soy sauce
* 2 tbsp Ketchup
* 2 Tbsp Oil (vegetable or Canola)
* 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
* 1 Tbsp ginger (diced small)
* 1 Tbsp Crushed red pepper
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp pepper
Instructions:
* Preheat oven to 400ºF. Season drumsticks lightly with salt (as soy is salty) and pepper to taste.
* Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Toss chicken (with tongs) and then arrange skin-side down in the baking pan. Place in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove pan, turn chicken over, and return to the oven for another 30 minutes.
* Remove pan and turn chicken over once more.
* If your sauce is not the thickness you like, but the chicken has completed its cooking, you can transfer the sauce to a small sauce pan and simmer it down stovetop till it thickens.
