Directions
- 1
Rinse the chicken drumettes under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season each piece individually with salt.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, soy sauce, oregano, and garlic. Season with pepper and mix until a smooth, glossy marinade forms.
- 3
Add the drumettes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 400 °F (fan-forced) or heat a grill to medium-high. Arrange the drumettes on a wire rack or lined baking tray.
- 5
Bake for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway, until caramelised and cooked through. For the grill, cook about 20 minutes, turning regularly for even colour.
💡 Chef's Tip
Brush with an extra drizzle of honey in the last 5 minutes for a glossy glaze. Serve alongside a crisp green salad or steamed rice to soak up the sauce.
