# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375℉.
02 -
Whisk together the soy sauce, chili flakes, honey, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
03 -
Place the chicken drumsticks in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the sauce over the drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Bake for about an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through, turning halfway to ensure even cooking.
# Extra Cooking Tips:

Chicken drumsticks can be substituted with thighs or breasts, but cooking times may vary.
03 -
For added spice, increase the amount of chili flakes to taste.
04 -
Marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator enhances flavor.
05 -
Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving.
