Notes
Brown the chicken drumsticks well before baking to add more flavor and a beautiful texture. Use the same skillet to sauté the vegetables, as it keeps the flavor left by the chicken. Cut the potatoes into medium pieces so they cook properly in the oven. The honey soy sauce should be cooked briefly before pouring over the chicken, just to bring the flavors together. Serve hot with white rice or salad.
