Honey Mustard Chicken Drumstick Recipe

Honey mustard chicken legs were a huge hit at my house! I didn't make a big point of stating what the recipe was called because none of my people like mustard really. That being said, they LOVED this recipe. There's something magical about good quality mustard and honey when it comes together, and it really made these simple chicken drumsticks the star of the show. And with only 5 minutes of prep time on your part (and an hour in the oven), it's an easy meal that you don't have to spend much time fussing over.

Tips and Tricks for Making Honey Mustard Baked Chicken Legs

• If you are new to the world of mustard, high quality mustard is a world of difference over that bright yellow stuff in a squirt bottle. Using both the whole grain and the Dijon makes this chicken complex and wonderful but not too "mustardy." Don't sub traditional yellow mustard; it just isn't the same.
• 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.

Are Drumsticks the Same as Chicken Legs?

Yes, they are essentially the same thing. Technically though, the drumstick is the lower section of the chicken leg and the whole chicken leg would include the chicken thigh connected to the drumstick.
