Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 0.25 cups honey
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the seasoning evenly over the drumsticks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, soy sauce, and olive oil to create the honey mustard glaze.
Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the glaze for basting. Pour the remaining glaze over the drumsticks, turning them to ensure they are evenly coated.
Place the drumsticks in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and baste the drumsticks with the reserved glaze. Flip each drumstick and baste the other side as well. Return them to the oven.
Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the drumsticks are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes.
