Oven Baked Five Spice Chicken

This recipe was inspired by the roasted chicken rice recipe from seasaltwithfood. Of course I did not have the patience and endurance to make such an elaborate meal so I decided to improvise a little bit.The chicken should be marinated for at least 2 hours. I omitted the ginger juice from the recipe of seasaltwithfood as I did not have enough but I am sure that would be a great addition to the chicken!

Recipe:
5 pieces of drumstick/approx 1.25 lbs of chicken.Slit the meat on the drumstick to allow for marinade to absorb.
For Marinade: 

1 clove of finely minced garlic
1/2 tsp of five spice powder
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp water
2 tsp honey


1.Mix the marinade in a bowl.
2. Marinade the chicken in a zip lock bag for at least two hours. Turn it often to make sure the whole surface of the chicken is covered in marinade
3. Set oven to 375 F. Line aluminum foil in a baking tray and place chicken in the oven. Save some marinade in a bowl for basting.
4. Bake for approximately 45 minutes occasionally basting and turning it until golden brown
