Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help the glaze caramelize beautifully.
Step 2: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, canola or vegetable oil, chili sauce, salt, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the glaze over the chicken, ensuring each drumstick is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5: Place the marinated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out evenly for even cooking.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7: Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
