All five ingredients are available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI without a special trip; soy sauce and ginger are standard stock at any major Charlotte chain. The cost runs roughly $8–$10 for four drumstick servings, driven by the poultry rather than the glaze components, making it reasonable for a weeknight. The stated 25 minutes is honest if you start with room-temperature drumsticks and don't count browning time as prep, but actual hands-on time is closer to 10 minutes once the pan is hot. The dish works well for families, reheats cleanly in a microwave or covered skillet the next day, and plays well with local North Carolina tastes—ginger and soy are familiar enough that it does not read as fussy, though the citrus-sesame glaze gives it enough brightness to feel like more than a pantry meal.
