Tips:
- Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are thin or have a lot of bone.
- Marinate the chicken drumsticks: Marinating the chicken drumsticks in a mixture of honey, garlic, soy sauce, and spices helps to flavor the chicken and make it more tender. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
