3 limes
1/4 cup honey
3 small garlic cloves, crushed with garlic press
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
24 medium chicken drumsticks (about 6 pounds), skin removed

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. From limes, grate 2 teaspoons peel and squeeze 1/4 cup juice.
2. In small bowl, with fork, mix honey, garlic, coriander, salt, pepper, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon lime peel.
