Ingredients (with quantities):
Instructions:
👨🍳 1) In a bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, and light brown sugar to create the marinade.
👨🍳 2) Coat the chicken drumsticks fully with the marinade mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
👨🍳 3) Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a bacon rack on a foil-lined baking sheet.
👨🍳 4) Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on the bacon rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced out.
👨🍳 5) Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
👨🍳 6) While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey and bring the mixture to a simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
👨🍳 7) Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the harissa paste and salt. Mix well until combined.
👨🍳 8) Once the chicken drumsticks are cooked through, remove them from the oven and coat them fully in the prepared honey harissa sauce.
👨🍳 9) Return the sauced chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld and the sauce to caramelize slightly.
👨🍳 10) Serve the hot honey harissa chicken drumsticks with your favourite sides and enjoy the flavourful and spicy goodness!
