Honey Mustard Chicken
Description
Honey Mustard Chicken uses six chicken drumsticks baked in a marinade made from low sodium soy sauce, honey, grainy mustard, olive oil, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. The soy sauce and mustard provide a savory base, while honey adds sweetness and chili flakes offer a gentle heat.
The chicken is coated with the sauce and baked at 375℉ for about an hour until fully cooked. This slow baking method gently cooks the drumsticks, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken into a shiny glaze. The soy sauce helps keep the chicken moist and adds depth.
This dish makes a simple main course served alongside grains or vegetables. Its flavor profile suits those who appreciate a sweet and mildly spicy chicken with a savory finish. The chili flakes can be adjusted to increase or reduce heat according to preference.
For best results, consider marinating the chicken in the sauce for several hours before baking to enhance flavor penetration. Turning the drumsticks halfway through baking encourages even browning and cooking. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F to ensure safety and juiciness.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce low sodium
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 6 chicken drumstick
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, chili flakes, honey, mustard, olive oil and salt and pepper until it emulsifies, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Place chicken drumsticks in a baking dish, one that's about 9x13 inch. Pour sauce over chicken drumsticks and make sure they are all nicely coated in the sauce.
- Bake for about an hour or until chicken is cooked through.
Notes
- Use low sodium soy sauce to control saltiness, adjusting added salt if using regular soy sauce.
- Substitute chicken thighs or breasts if preferred, but adjust baking times accordingly.
- Increase chili flakes for a spicier dish according to taste.
- Marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours or overnight to deepen flavor.
- Turn chicken halfway through baking for even color and doneness.
- Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
