Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, honey, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix until fully combined to form a marinade.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Add them to the mixing bowl and toss until all the drumsticks are evenly coated with the marinade.
Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the drumsticks halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Check that the internal temperature of the drumsticks reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
Once the drumsticks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the drumsticks for added flavor and presentation.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a green salad.
