Techniques
  • 6 whole chicken drumsticks
  • salt
  • black pepper
Season the drumsticks on both sides with a little salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high.
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp Greek honey
Sauce: whisk the grated garlic, about a quarter cup of lemon juice and three heaping tablespoons of honey; set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Push the chicken to the edge of the pan, pour the sauce into the centre with a tiny bit of water, then bring the chicken back in.
Finishing in the sauce
