For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Feel free to experiment with different types of mustard or vinegars to customize the flavor profile. This recipe works equally well with other cuts of chicken, such as thighs or breasts; adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, water, olive oil, and minced garlic until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepAdd the chicken legs to the bowl and toss to ensure they are evenly coated in the honey-mustard mixture. (2 minutes)
04
StepArrange the chicken legs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear when pierced with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For even browning, turn the chicken legs over halfway through the cooking time. (35 minutes)

Nov 3, 2024Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet, or the chicken won't brown properly. I learned that the hard way!
