📝 Ingredients

• 8 large chicken drumsticks
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) soy sauce
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) rice vinegar
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) honey
• 5 ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
• few sprigs of fresh thyme OR 5ml (1 tsp) dried thyme
• 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) ground ginger

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mix all the ingredients in a plastic bag and marinate the chicken overnight. It helps to knead the bag every now and then to make sure the chicken is completely covered.
2. 2Preheat the oven to 140°C/fan 120°C/285°F/gas mark 1.
3. 3Arrange the drumsticks in a dish in a single layer. Drizzle a bit of marinade over them to keep them moisturized. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
4. 4Take the chicken out of the oven and increase the temperature to 180°C/fan 160°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
5. 5Remove the foil and pour a bit more marinade to the chicken and make sure the drumsticks are well-coated.
6. 6Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, turning several times, until the chicken is tender and nicely glazed.
7. 7Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
