Sticky Honey, Garlic and Chile Glazed Chicken Drumettes

I love simple recipes that easily feed a crowd, especially with summer months coming up and more barbecues happening. I love me a good hot dog and hamburger, but it’s also nice to switch things up sometimes, so these Sticky Honey, Garlic and Chile Glazed Chicken Drumettes are perfect for when you feel like grilling something simple, but want something just a little different.

There are only a handful of ingredients needed, which is always a plus, and they’re so so good! You’re probably wondering about the baking powder mix in the beginning of the recipe. It might seem weird, but the mixture and rest time in the fridge will actually help get the skin nice and crispy! You can also totally adjust the amount of chile sauce you add to the honey mixture. I like heat, but my husband is only semi on board, so the amount listed still gives good heat, but isn’t scorching. Enjoy! xx,Jenny
