Oven-Baked Saucy Chicken Drumsticks

These delicious legs are a godsend for chicken lovers. A long time ago I baked a whole chicken using this recipe. It turned out to have a delicious crust and soft meat. When I decided to bake the drumsticks, I remembered this recipe and again prepared the sauce that I liked so much then.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare your ingredients. The legs for this recipe are suitable either chilled or frozen. Thanks to the sauce, they will become soft and tender in any case. Frozen legs must first be thawed (best on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator). Wash the drumsticks and dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare the sauce. In a deep container, combine honey, mustard, vegetable oil, lemon juice, paprika and salt.

Step 3

Step 3
Whisk until smooth. If the honey is not liquid, it’s okay, it will disperse while beating. Or you can warm the honey a little.

Step 4

Step 4
Place the chicken legs into the resulting sauce and mix well so that the sauce is evenly distributed over the chicken. Leave to marinate for 30-40 minutes.

Step 5

Step 5
Transfer the legs to a baking dish and pour the remaining sauce over the top.

Step 6

Step 6
Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for about 40 minutes. During baking, periodically turn the legs over and pour sauce from the bottom of the pan. The finished legs will be browned on top, and when pierced with a knife, clear juice will flow out. Remove the finished legs from the oven and serve with any side dish.
