Scale
- 2 lbs Chicken Drumsticks
- 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Honey

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and ginger until combined.
- Coat the Drumsticks: Add drumsticks to a large zip-top bag or bowl, pour marinade over them, and coat well. Marinate for at least 1 hour.
