Sticky Glazed Chicken Drumsticks with Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

Step 1 Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with foil or parchment.
Step 2 In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger, olive oil, and pepper.
Step 3 Place drumsticks in the dish and pour glaze over them. Bake for 35-40 minutes, basting occasionally, until sticky and cooked through.
Step 4 Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 5 Warm the corn and gravy together in a small pan or microwave, then spoon over mashed potatoes.
Step 6 In a saucepan, cook carrots in boiling water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain, then toss with butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 7 Plate the mashed potatoes with gravy and corn, glazed drumsticks, and carrots. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat chicken and vegetables in the oven at 350°F (175°C) or microwave until hot. Reheat mashed potatoes with a splash of milk to restore creaminess. Avoid over-microwaving to maintain texture.
