Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a bowl, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir until the BBQ sauce is well mixed and smooth.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the drumsticks and toss to coat them evenly.
Pour half of the prepared BBQ sauce over the drumsticks, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
Arrange the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly.
Place the drumsticks in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the drumsticks from the oven and brush them with the remaining BBQ sauce.
Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the sauce is caramelized.
Allow the drumsticks to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your soy-free BBQ drumsticks with your favorite sides!
