TOTAL TIME

55 mins

Serves: 3-4

INGREDIENTS

• 6 chicken drumsticks (about 1.75 lbs.)
• Pinch of salt and pepper 
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch 
• ¼ cup sriracha 
• 2 Tbsp butter 
• 2 Tbsp honey 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil, then top it with wire cooling racks to hold the chicken up off the baking sheet. For easy cleaning, spritz the wire racks with non-stick spray.
2. Place the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cornstarch over top, then stir until the drumsticks are evenly coated in cornstarch.
3. Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the drumsticks for about 50 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and crispy.
4. While the chicken is in the oven, combine the sriracha, butter, and honey in a small sauce pot. Heat over a low flame until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth. Set the sauce aside.
5. When the chicken comes out of the oven, brush the sauce liberally over the surface of the chicken, then serve.

STEP BY STEP PHOTOS

Start by preheating the oven to 400ºF. Place six skin-on chicken drumsticks in a large bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Sprinkle 2 Tbsp cornstarch over the chicken, then stir until the pieces are evenly coated.

Line a baking sheet with foil, then place two wire cooling racks on top. (For even easier cleanup, you can spritz the racks with non-stick spray.) Place the cornstarch coated chicken pieces on the racks.

Bake for about 50 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. They won’t get super dark, and some spots that had extra thick cornstarch may still be white.

While the chicken is in the oven, prepare the wing sauce. Simply place 1/4 cup sriracha, 2 Tbsp butter, and 2 Tbsp honey in a small sauce pot. Stir and heat over a low flame until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth. This only takes about 5 minutes.

Back to those gorgeous drumsticks…

Slather that delicious honey sriracha sauce all over the wings. As I mentioned earlier, you could actually use any type of sauce that you want… BBQ is an easy choice.

And now your amazing Crispy Baked Honey Sriracha Chicken Drumsticks are ready to eat!
