Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, gluten-free ketchup, and brown sugar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir to combine.
Rinse the chicken drumsticks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the prepared barbecue sauce over the drumsticks, making sure each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for extra flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated drumsticks on the rack in a single layer.
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is sticky and caramelized.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite gluten-free sides!
