Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks (or wings or thighs)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Pat the chicken drumsticks (or wings or thighs) dry with paper towels and place them in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for enhanced flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Grill the chicken drumsticks (or bake in the oven) for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through with a golden exterior.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Allow the Easy Chicken Drumsticks (or Wings or Thighs) to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these flavorful and juicy chicken pieces as a delightful main course or appetizer!
