A delightful twist on classic baked chicken drumsticks, featuring a flavorful soy-garlic glaze.
Combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking sherry, and minced garlic in a zip-lock bag.
Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent leaks and allow even marination.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure all sides of the chicken are coated.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and arrange the chicken drumsticks in a single layer.
Use non-stick foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Bake the chicken covered with foil for 40 minutes.
Covering the chicken helps retain moisture during the initial cooking phase.
Remove the foil, baste the chicken with the marinade, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Basting adds a glossy finish and enhances the flavor.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
