  • Pour the marinade over the drumsticks. Give it a mix to make sure everything is coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 30 minutes. (The longer it marinates, the better!)
  • Bake the marinated chicken drumsticks in the oven for 45 minutes. Broil for an additional 5 minutes to get the skin nice and crispy! (keep an eye on it so it does not burn!)
