Ingredients

• 8 chicken drumsticks
• 3 peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the diced peaches, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
3. Add the chicken drumsticks to a large ziplock bag and pour the peach marinade over them. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
5. Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
6. While the drumsticks are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering marinade, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
8. Once the drumsticks are done, remove them from the oven and brush them with the thickened peach glaze. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
