Balsamic Chicken

Honey-glazed roasted chicken drumsticks garnished with chopped green onions on a plate, with cooking ingredients in the background.

This is really easy and really delish, provided you have the time to let the chicken marinate. Prepare this the night before and you will have a easy dinner when you get home the next night.
