Muslos de pollo con miel y salsa de soja

Ingredientes

• 3 pounds chicken drumsticks (bone in, with skin)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 5 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder)
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Preparación

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade: In a 9×13-inch casserole dish, whisk together olive oil, sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until combined into a smooth marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece evenly. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to deeply infuse the meat.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken drumsticks.

4. 4

   Bake the Chicken: Remove the plastic wrap, place the casserole dish with the marinated drumsticks into the preheated oven, and bake for 45 minutes. Turn the drumsticks halfway through cooking to ensure even caramelization and color. Confirm the chicken is fully cooked by checking it reaches an internal temperature of 175°F (79°C) with a meat thermometer.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the drumsticks for a fresh herbal note. Serve the chicken hot with the flavorful pan sauce, alongside steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
