These honey soy chicken drumsticks are very versatile but here are some of my favorite ways to serve them:

Creamy Polenta Any super simple salad that happens to be your favorite, I like one like Kale And Quinoa Salad With Lemon Vinaigrette or Kale Salad With Blueberry Vinaigrette. Best of both worlds in regards for carbs and salad, Mediterranean Orzo Salad is a perfect accompaniment.
