1. Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease baking dish. Pat drumsticks completely dry with paper towels. Dry skin helps sauce stick better and browns beautifully.

2. Whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, vinegar, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme in bowl. Mix until smooth and completely combined.

3. Place drumsticks in prepared baking dish and pour sauce over top. Turn each piece to coat all sides evenly with the sticky glaze.

4. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon sauce from bottom of pan over drumsticks. Return to oven and bake another 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.

5. Turn oven to broil and cook 2-3 minutes until glaze bubbles and caramelizes. Watch closely to prevent burning. The glaze should look thick and sticky.

6. Let drumsticks rest 5 minutes before serving. Spoon extra sauce from pan over chicken for maximum flavor and shine.
