Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.

Place the chicken drumsticks in a large zip-lock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight for the best flavor infusion.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top. Transfer the marinated drumsticks onto the rack and discard any leftover marinade. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

For extra crispy skin, turn on the broiler during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Once cooked, allow the drumsticks to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Notes
