Although it may sound like a new, hard-to find, trendy ingredient, silan is just a honey derived from dates and has actually been around for a long time. It has a deeper, more caramel flavor profile than bee honey, much like the taste of dried dates themselves.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
Pull down the skin on a drumstick, wrap a piece of smoked meat around the chicken, and pull the skin back up to cover.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the chicken skin and then roll the drumstick in bread crumbs.
Place in a baking pan and drizzle generously with silan. Repeat with remaining drumsticks.
Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 45 minutes.

Do you think you can use honey instead of the silian
Yes!
Have you ever made it without the Silan? Just wondering if someone tried it without the silan, as we dont normally care for sweet poultry and meats, but this recipe sounds amazing.
There is a lot of silan that omitting it won’t be good.
