Honey Lime Drumsticks

There is nothing more frustrating than pulling a "quick" chicken recipe out of my recipe box at 5:00 when I'm ready to start dinner and finding out that it needs to marinate overnight.  I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me.  

This quick honey lime chicken recipe is exactly as the name suggests - quick.  There's no fussy marinade or long cooking time - it's just simple and quick and best of all - delicious.  

A side of broccoli, a few rolls and a green salad complete this yummy weeknight night meal - in under 30 minutes!! 

Honey Lime Chicken
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons hot water
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 Tablespoon oil
1 Tablespoon fresh grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
6-8 chicken drumsticks
1/2 teaspoon pepper
​

Skin each chicken drumstick. 

Cut a slit in each drumstick and sprinkle with pepper. 

Heat pan with cooking spray.   Brown chicken on each side.  

Combine soy, honey, water, lime juice, oil, ginger and garlic.  

Pour sauce over chicken.  Turn to coat. 

Transfer to 375 oven and cook 30 minutes.  

Serve with pan sauce. 

Monday night dinner never tasted so good.  I think you will agree. 

Ciao!
