Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and lightly oil it.

  2. Step 2

    Pat drumsticks dry with paper towels. Arrange on the pan in a single layer.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk together honey, bbq sauce, cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Brush half the glaze onto the drumsticks, turning to coat all sides evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 12 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and shake the pan to coat.

  6. Step 6

    Return to oven for 4–6 minutes until edges are caramelized and glossy. Serve hot.
