TERIYAKI MARINATED BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

I love chicken and I cannot lie! As we end October today, I just thought what better way to do so than with my very favorite meal. C.H.I.C.K.E.N! I used this easy and delicious teriyaki marinade to give these chicken drumsticks that spicy sweet flavour. Baked chicken has always been my very top way to eat chicken and you can never go wrong with it. Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The brown sugar in the marinade gives the drumsticks that shiny yummy looking glaze on top. Served over a crispy fresh green salad have these teriyaki drumsticks any way you like. Trust me you will be eating more than one drumstick and want to bake them every day, they are that delicious!
