Additional Tips
- Marinate the chicken drumsticks overnight in the honey soy sauce mixture for the most flavorful results. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly, resulting in a more delicious dish.
- Allow the cooked drumsticks to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and juicy bite with each serving.
