Pre-heat oven to 165°C (325°F).
Combine the soy sauce, water and garlic. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Pour the warm liquid into the honey, mix well and add the spices. Place drumettes in a roasting pan and baste with the oriental sauce. Cover and bake for 3 hours.
Drain drumettes and serve. For crispier drumettes, drain them, place on a baking sheet and broil on the middle rack of the oven for 5 minutes, keeping a close eye on the drumettes, until golden brown.
