How to make Honey Spicy Drumsticks

Weekend Vibes with my Honey and Spicy drumsticks is just the way to end a working week.
But why can’t I just get to sleep till say 10 am on a Saturday morning? My body clock just seems to have been programmed to wake at 6am irrespective of the day of the week.

So on Saturdays I will make my well brewed cup of tea, get me some cookies and watch tv. With remote in one hand I will switch channels watch food programs, some fashion shows and do a little reading . This is always my me time when I also get to reflect on the last working week. What went right and what I could do better.

So the rest of the day follows with some social events, sometimes food photo sessions which comes with much cooking.. Much music goes with this session. This last week it was old school music all the way to Cool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, Bright Chimezie….. It was a pot pourri of selections.

So much for my Saturday rituals, lets get to what I am offering today….Honey Spicy Drumsticks. Well seasoned chicken is sometimes all you need to have for dinner if you are on a low Carb diet . Or simply have this yummy drumsticks and watch the tray empty out in seconds. You may also wish to try out other interesting Nigerian small chop like Plantain balls.
