sticky honey chicken drumsticks with oven roasted french fries... 1 hour

the goods:

6 chicken drumsticks or 12 drumettes
1/4 cup soy sauce
zest and juice from 1/2 a lime
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

oven roasted french fries:
3 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
6 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 tablespoon paprika
3/4 tablespoon garlic salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Slice potatoes into evenly-sized wedges/strips. Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Using clean hands, toss to coat and spread into an even layer.
Bake for 45 minutes, flipping with a spatula every 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime zest and juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and garlic. Set aside.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil to coat pan. Lightly brown chicken on all sides. Spoon half the sauce over each piece of chicken, using tongs to turn chicken pieces to absorb the sauce. Allow to cook for 2 more minutes.
Place entire skillet in preheated oven, turning chicken regularly, and adding another spoonful of sauce over each piece. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and skin is caramelized.
Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.
