In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, finely chopped chili pepper, grated ginger, soy sauce, neutral oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk together until the marinade is well mixed and smooth.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a baking dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for the best flavor.
If you're baking the drumsticks, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If grilling, prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. If baking, arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. If grilling, cook for about 25-30 minutes, flipping occasionally, until charred and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Fluffy rice is the perfect base for soaking up the flavorful juices from the chicken.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven or grill. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Slice green onions for garnish. Serve the drumsticks over a bed of rice, drizzling any remaining marinade over the top, and sprinkle with green onion for a fresh touch.
