Place the chicken on the June Pan and insert the June Food Thermometer
Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place the drumsticks on a June Roasting Rack set in a foil-lined June Pan. Reserve the remaining marinade. Insert the June Food Thermometer into the center of the fleshiest part of the thickest drumstick, carefully avoiding the bone.

Roast the drumsticks
Place the June Pan on the middle shelf of the June Oven and plug the June Food Thermometer into the jack. Roast the drumsticks until they are cooked through and browned, about 30 minutes. June will notify you when the drumsticks are ready.

Make the sauce
While the chicken cooks, make the sauce. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a small pot and strain the remaining marinade into the pot, discarding the solids. Cook the marinade over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and the consistency of a syrup, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the glaze.

Glaze the drumsticks
Remove the drumsticks from the June Oven. Allow the drumsticks to cool on the June Roasting Rack 5 minutes. Using the pastry brush, brush the drumsticks with the reduced teriyaki glaze until coated to your liking.
