Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 2.5 pounds chicken legs about 8

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard.
  • Place the chicken legs in a baking dish so that they are mostly all touching, an 11x7 inch pan was perfect for me.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spoon the honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the chicken over and then spoon the sauce over the tops again.
  • Bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the chicken over and then spoon the sauce over the tops again.
  • Bake an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and registers 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer.
  • Remove from the oven, and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the tops one additional time before serving.

Notes

    • Using both the whole grain and Dijon mustard gives this chicken a delicious, complex flavor.
    • Don't substitute either of the mustards for plain yellow mustard.
    • If it's hard to spoon the extra sauce in the bottom of the pan over the chicken, gently tilt the pan so that the sauce pools in one corner. It's easy to spoon up that way.
    • Don't forget to check the internal temperature of your chicken before you serve it. It should reach 165°F.
