Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoons hot chili paste to taste (Note)
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Place honey, soy sauce, chili paste, both sorts of paprika powder, and lemon juice into a small bowl. Whisk well.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks into a Ziploc bag. Add the marinade, close the bag, and rub the chicken drumsticks with the marinade. Place the bag in a bowl, the bowl in the fridge, and let the chicken drumsticks marinade for 2-4 hours (up to 8 hours).
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking. In the meantime preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit (fan oven 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the chicken drumsticks on the baking tray.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through. To check that the chicken drumsticks are cooked through, stick a toothpick or skewer in the thickest part of a roasted drumstick. The juices should run clear. If the juices are still pink, return to the oven and check again after about 5 minutes. Serve as suggested above.
