5-Ingredient Oven Chicken Drumettes
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Raw chicken drumette pieces | 2 1/2 pounds |
| Olive oil | 1/4 cup |
| Soy sauce | 3 tablespoons |
| Honey | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic powder | 1 tablespoon |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the raw chicken drumette pieces directly into an ungreased medium-to-large ceramic baking pan, spreading them out into an even layer.
-
Make the sauce: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and garlic powder until smooth and combined.
-
Coat the chicken: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the drumettes in the pan. Toss the chicken using tongs or clean hands until fully coated, then rearrange into a single layer.
-
First bake: Bake uncovered for 25 minutes to allow the tops to begin caramelizing.
-
Flip and baste: Remove the pan from the oven and use tongs to flip each drumette. Spoon some of the pan juices over the top of the chicken pieces.
-
Finish baking: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until deeply golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaching at least 165°F/74°C).
-
Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest in the pan for 5 minutes, toss once more in the garlic-honey-soy juices, and serve warm.
