Honey Lime Chicken Drumsticks
I was so excited when I started developing this recipe. I don’t know about you but I am a HUGE fan of the sweet-salty combo, and that is why this recipe quickly became my favourite! This recipe is so easy because all you do is mix all of the ingredients in the same bowl as the chicken and bake it in your oven (or air fryer if you prefer) and BAM! DONE! Easy as that!
For this recipe I used chicken drumsticks to keep it nice and juicy. However, this recipe would work just as well for chicken thighs or chicken breast. If you are not a fan of spice, omit the sriracha. These chicken drumsticks pair well with rice, veggies, or even salad.
