Line baking tray with aluminum foil, top with parchment paper. The parchment paper will allow for easy of removing drumsticks. As they can sometimes stick to the foil.
Wash the chicken leg with running tap water. Add 1 teaspoon lime juice, make sure all the drumsticks are evenly coated. I usually leave my lime juice in my meats as I have found that it takes away the freshness, and adds a nice flavor. However, some people like to wash out the lime juice. If you so desire, wash the drumsticks again.
Add minced garlic, ginger, salt, thyme, scallion, and black pepper. Coat drumsticks evenly. Leave to marinate for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can use 3 tablespoons of my green seasoning, see green seasoning recipe, in this case only add salt, and black pepper.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the Honey, Barbecue Sauce, and Corn Starch. Set aside.
Preheat Oven to 350 °F (177 °C).
Arrange the drumsticks on the parchment paper. Using a food brush, paste half of the honey BBQ sauce onto the chicken drumsticks. Place it in the preheated oven and Bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, turn over the drumsticks and paste the sauce on the other side; bake for a further 20 minutes until the drumsticks are golden brown and sticky.
Remove from oven and let cool before serving. Serve with your favorite vegetables, rice, potatoes or a side dish of your choice.
