Honey and Garlic Chicken Drumsticks

Just a couple of simple ingredients come together to make this delicious Honey and Garlic Chicken Drumsticks

Here in Canada Honey and Garlic Chicken wings are a big thing in the bars and restaurants, but chicken wings can be pretty tough to remove the skin from and once you do, there isn't actually much left on them to eat. So I like to opt for drumsticks, the skin is really easy to remove, and because the bone is intact, the chicken stays nice and moist with lovely flavour.

If you struggle to remove the skin from drumsticks, a little tip is to use some kitchen roll to hold the chicken, and then using another piece, grab the skin and in a quick pull, it should come off nice and easy.

This Honey and Garlic Chicken makes a great family meal, that kids will love because of that sweet and sticky flavour. If you or any other family members are not keen on chicken drumsticks, you can use chicken breast or thigh meat instead.
