Baked honey mustard chicken drumsticks
Honey mustard chicken drumsticks are one of the easiest Chicken Drumstick Recipe for Busy Weeknights. These juicy baked chicken legs get ready in less than 40 mins.
Ingredients
- 8-10 chicken drumsticks (about 2.2 lbs)
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 to 4 tbsps honey
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon coriander
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (200°C)
- In a bowl, mix together olive oil, honey, mustard, salt, and spices. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat each drumstick thoroughly with the mixture. Optionally, cover the bowl with cling film and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Transfer the coated chicken drumsticks to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
- Bake the drumsticks for 20 minutes then remove from oven, flip each drumstick over, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer. Larger sized drumsticks may require additional baking time.
- Let drumsticks rest for 5 to 10 mins before serving.
Notes
- Don't overcook! Chicken drumsticks cook quickly. Set a timer and check them early.
- Use 4 tablespoons of honey if you like it really sweet or use 2 to 3 for less sweet chicken.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet for easy cleanup.
- Remember to flip the chicken halfway through cooking time.
- Allow baked drumsticks to rest 5 minutes before serving. This will help redistribute juices and ensure your chicken is juicy.
