Ingredients
Instructions
PREPARE THE MARINADE
In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, mustard, soy sauce and olive oil. Whisk the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully blended. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as desired.
Tip: Taste the marinade before adding it to the chicken to ensure the balance of sweetness and tanginess suits your preference.
MARINATE THE CHICKEN
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Place them in the bowl with the marinade and toss thoroughly to coat each drumstick evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Tip: Use a zip-top bag for marinating if space is limited; it helps coat the chicken more evenly and requires less marinade.
PREHEAT THE GRILL
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 175°C). Brush the grill grates with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent heat.
Tip: To avoid flare-ups, keep a spray bottle of water handy to manage any excessive flames from dripping marinade.
GRILL THE CHICKEN
Place the drumsticks on the grill, spacing them apart to allow even cooking. Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes and basting with leftover marinade each time you flip. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C and has a caramelized glaze.
Tip: Avoid over-basting in the final minutes to prevent burning the honey in the marinade.
GARNISH AND SERVE
Transfer the grilled drumsticks to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for added freshness and visual appeal. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
Tip: Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to retain its juices and enhance flavor.
