Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
French the chicken drumettes by trimming the skin and tendons to expose the bone.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Coat each French’d drumette.
Place the coated drumettes on the baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes.
Prepare the glaze by mixing chili garlic sauce, honey, melted butter, soy sauce, and smoked paprika.
Dip each baked drumette into the glaze and return to the baking sheet.
Bake the glazed drumettes for an additional 10 minutes and then dip again.
Bake for another 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze before serving.
