Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 tablespoons Honey mustard
- 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a small bowl, warm the butter until melted. Mix in the honey mustard to create a glaze.
Using a basting brush, coat each drumstick with the honey mustard glaze and set aside.
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Stretch each triangle slightly to ensure it will wrap around the drumstick.
Starting at the thicker end of the dough triangle, wrap each piece of dough tightly around a drumstick, leaving the bone uncovered. Repeat for all drumsticks.
Place the wrapped drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down to prevent unrolling during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
