Preparation tips
- Pat the chicken drumettes dry with kitchen paper before glazing so the honey-soy mixture caramelises rather than steams, giving you that sought-after lacquered, sticky finish.
- Turn the drumettes halfway through roasting and brush generously with the remaining glaze from the mixing bowl for an evenly coated, glossy result on every piece.
- For a milder family version, reduce the mustard slightly and add a squeeze of extra lemon juice; serve with sesame seeds and spring onion for a festive finish.
Recipe variations
- Spicy version: add a spoonful of sriracha or chilli flakes to the honey-soy glaze and finish the drumettes with sliced red chilli for extra heat at your next party.
- Gluten-free version: replace the light soy sauce with tamari and check that the mustard is gluten-free, keeping the same sticky honey-ginger character for everyone to enjoy.
