Spicy Mustard Chicken
Budget friendly baked chicken with a sweet, spicy and sticky glaze
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp grainy dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp seedy jam ie raspberry jam
- 1-2 tsp Sriracha sauce adjust for heat tolerance
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Arrange chicken pieces with most skin facing upwards. Do not crowd in pan. Use a high heat safe baking or roasting pan. Season skin with salt and pepper.
- Roast uncovered at 450° for 15 minutes until skin is browning and fat is draining out of skin. Using a convection setting helps with browning. If oven doesn't have roast setting, bake for 15 minutes followed by a brief broil, watching carefully.
- Meanwhile, prepare glaze by combining remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer until slightly reduced and thickened. Sauce can also be prepared in the microwave by heating in 30 second intervals, stirring frequently.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Brush most of the glaze over top of chicken pieces. Cover with foil or lid and return to the oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove cover 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.
