Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken drumsticks 2.2 lb, 8-10 drumsticks
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp grainy dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice approx half a lemon, juiced
- 1 Tbsp seedy jam ie raspberry jam
- 1-2 tsp Sriracha sauce adjust for heat tolerance
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
- Arrange chicken pieces with most skin facing upwards. Do not crowd in pan. Use a high heat safe baking or roasting pan. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast uncovered at 450° for 15 minutes until skin is browning and crisping.
- Meanwhile, prepare glaze by combining remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer until slightly reduced and thickened.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Brush half of the glaze over top of chicken pieces. Cover and return to the oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil or lid and brush remaining glaze on top of chicken. Roast uncovered for 10 - 15 more minutes until glaze is caramelizing on top.
Notes
- Chicken thighs are an excellent substitute. If thighs are fairly large, add 5 minutes to covered baking time.
- Use any variety of mustard and jam, marmalade or pepper jelly for a custom combination.
- Adjust amount of Sriracha for heat tolerance.
