Ingredients
Chicken
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Coconut Rice
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken drumsticks.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil, mixing thoroughly to create the glaze.
- Coat the Drumsticks: Toss the chicken drumsticks in the prepared sauce, making sure each piece is well-coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Chicken: Arrange the coated drumsticks on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, basting with additional sauce halfway through cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Cook the Coconut Rice: While the chicken bakes, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt in a pot; bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquids.
- Serve: Plate the baked honey soy chicken drumsticks over a bed of the fragrant coconut rice for a flavorful, balanced meal.
Notes
- Add chili flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- Garnish the dish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra texture and freshness.
