Add chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.

Arrange drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

In a small bowl, mix honey and lime juice together until combined.

Remove chicken from the oven and brush with the honey-lime mixture.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
