For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in the marmalade mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator. Feel free to adjust the amount of sambal oelek to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have sambal oelek, sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes can be used as a substitute. Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepSeason chicken drumsticks generously with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer in an oven-safe baking dish. (2 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to render some of the fat and begin cooking the chicken. (20 minutes)
04
StepWhile the chicken bakes, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, barbecue sauce, sambal oelek, and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined. (5 minutes)
05
StepRemove the dish from the oven and brush the chicken thoroughly with the marmalade mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated. (3 minutes)
06
StepReturn the dish to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
07
StepRemove the dish again, turn the chicken over, and brush with the remaining marmalade mixture. Continue baking until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 10 more minutes. (13 minutes)
08
StepFor a beautiful, glazed finish, preheat the oven's broiler. Place the chicken under the broiler and broil until the skin is deeply caramelized and slightly blistered, keeping a close eye to prevent burning, 3 to 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
09
StepLet the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. (5 minutes)

Jan 27, 2025I found that the chicken started to burn under the broiler, so I moved it to a lower rack in the oven. It turned out perfectly!

Dec 4, 2024I substituted honey for the marmalade, and it was still delicious! It gave the chicken a slightly different flavor profile.
