Using a non-metal bowl or a sealable freezer bag add the ginger, oil, soy sauce, garlic, honey and black pepper and stir to mix.
1 inch ginger, 5 cloves garlic, 3 tbsp dark soy sauce, 4 tbsp honey, ½ tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp olive oil
Add the chicken drumsticks and using your hands, massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or cling file/plastic wrap the bowl.
12 large chicken drumsticks
Place in the fridge to marinade ideally overnight but at least 2 hours.
Remove from the fridge and allow to warm to room temperature before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 6.
Place the drumsticks in a single layer into a large baking tray coated with foil.
Cook for 45 – 50 minutes or until fully cooked. I turn the drumsticks over after 20 minutes and baste with any leftover marinade at the same time.
