Ingredients
2 lbs chicken drumsticks
1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, and vegetable oil.

Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.

Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush the drumsticks generously with the reserved sauce.

Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is caramelized and sticky.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
