Baked Chicken Drumstick

Submerge chicken drumsticks in lightly salted water for 20 minutes to remove frozen smell and blood.

Rinse drumsticks thoroughly under running water, then drain well to help marinade absorb better.

Poke holes on both sides of each drumstick at the thickest part so marinade penetrates deeper.

Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper evenly over both sides of the drumsticks.

Place drumsticks in a dish, then add sliced garlic, sliced onion, cooking wine, chicken powder, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce.

Slice lemon, remove seeds, then rub drumsticks with lemon slices. Mix everything together and marinate for several hours or overnight.

Heat oil in a pan and sear marinated drumsticks on both sides until lightly browned.

Spread the leftover marinade ingredients into a baking tray, then place seared drumsticks on top.

Place the tray in the oven and bake until drumsticks are fully cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Pour reserved marinade juices into a saucepan, add honey and a squeeze of lemon juice, then bring to a boil and taste.

Drizzle the warm lemon honey sauce generously over the baked drumsticks and garnish with fresh greens.
