Instructions
- Pat the drumsticks dry and coat evenly with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, then add the drumsticks and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Whisk together fresh orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and orange zest in a bowl until well combined.
- Pour the orange garlic glaze over the seared drumsticks in the skillet. Transfer to a preheated 400°F oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, basting every 8 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the glaze is thick and syrupy.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the drumsticks and transfer to a serving platter with any remaining glaze from the skillet.

Notes
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the brightest flavor. Basting the drumsticks frequently ensures they stay moist and develop a beautiful caramelized coating. Pat the drumsticks dry before searing for better browning. Leftover drumsticks taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
