Honey Soy Chicken Drumsticks

Honey soy chicken drumsticks with a glossy glaze on a rustic plate.

These Honey Soy Chicken Drumsticks make a delicious quick and easy dinner for those busy nights when you really don’t want to be in the kitchen for long.

I love using chicken pieces on the bone in my cooking as they are really really cheap. I managed to get a whole kilogram of chicken legs for only $4!  And they freeze well too – so when you see them on sale – buy up big.

Chicken on the bone is always much tastiest than boneless chicken – and because it is cheaper too – more people really should try including chicken pieces in their weekly menu’s.

Serve Honey Soy Drumsticks with jasmine rice, steamed vegetables or even a nice Fried Rice.
