Citrus Spicy Honey Glazed Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup of orange juice, minced garlic, and grated orange zest.
- Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper, then place them in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the honey glaze over the drumsticks, seal the bag, and shake to coat the chicken evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Place the marinated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the drumsticks from the oven, brush with the remaining honey glaze, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
- Serve the citrus spicy honey glazed baked chicken drumsticks hot, and enjoy!
The history of Spicy Honey Glazed Baked Chicken Drumsticks with a citrus twist can be traced back to the fusion of Southern and Caribbean flavors. This dish combines the heat of spicy peppers with the sweetness of honey, and the tangy brightness of citrus. Renowned chefs like Marcus Samuelsson and Carla Hall have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The best version of this dish can be found in the vibrant food scenes of cities like New Orleans and Miami, where the use of fresh, local citrus elevates the flavors. The key to perfecting this dish lies in balancing the spicy, sweet, and citrusy elements to create a harmonious flavor profile. For a famous alternative method, some chefs recommend grilling the drumsticks for a smokier flavor.
