Ingredients
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 whole limes juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 1 pound bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
Instructions
- Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, and crushed red pepper.
- Add chicken to a large Ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and toss to fully coat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat grill to 400°F.
- Remove drumsticks from marinade, but do not discard marinade. Place chicken on the grill and cook, rotating every 8-10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 30-35 minutes).
- Meanwhile, pour remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes until liquid thickens and is reduced by half.
- For the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, brush chicken with reduced sauce. Remove from heat and brush with remaining sauce. Serve immediately.
