- In a large bowl, combine 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 3 heavy dashes ground white pepper.
- Add 1 1/2 lbs (750 g) chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss or use your hands/tongs to coat each piece thoroughly with the sauce.
- Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks in a single layer, skin-side up if present, leaving space between pieces.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) or the meat is no longer pink near the bone.
- Turn the oven to broil and broil the drumsticks for 1–2 minutes to develop a charred surface, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
I recommend marinating the chicken in themarinade for at least 30 minutesto allow all the flavors to seep into the meat before putting it in the oven.
You can useother chicken partsfor this recipe like thighs, breasts, or wings depending on what’s available. Just be mindful of the cooking time!
Don’t throw away the remaining hoisin chicken marinade because you can simmer it toserve as an additional glazefor the dish.
