Sticky Orange Garlic Chicken Drumsticks – Easy and Delicious

Ingredients

For the Chicken 🍗
8 chicken drumsticks
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
For the Orange Garlic Glaze 🍊🧄
½ cup fresh orange juice
2 tbsp honey 🍯
3 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp butter 🧈
1 tsp orange zest
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
Garnish 🌿
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Orange slices for serving 🍊


Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken 🍗

Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Pat the drumsticks dry and place them in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

2. Roast the Drumsticks 🔥

Arrange chicken on a lined baking tray. Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

3. Make the Orange Garlic Glaze 🍊

While the chicken cooks, combine orange juice, honey, garlic, soy sauce, butter, and orange zest in a saucepan over medium heat.

Simmer for 4–5 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute until glossy and thickened.

4. Glaze the Chicken ✨

Brush or spoon the sticky orange garlic glaze generously over the roasted drumsticks. Return to the oven for 5 extra minutes to caramelize.

5. Serve 🍽️

Arrange the drumsticks over fresh orange slices and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm with rice, roasted potatoes, or a crisp salad.
