Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 5 drumsticks)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 lemons
- Optional: crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
Put chicken into a gallon size plastic bag. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and the juice of 2 lemons (crushed red pepper also if desired). Pour the mixture into the bag of chicken (add a few of the squeezed lemon wedges). Put in a large bowl and marinate in the fridge overnight.
-
When ready to bake, place the chicken and marinade into a foil lined 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through. If you want a charred top turn the broiler on for about 2 minutes.
