Ingredients
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp minced shallots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 8 chicken drumsticks, skin on
- Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Making the Mustard Paste:
- In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Preparing The Chicken:
- Place chicken drumsticks in a large dish and liberally rub the mustard paste over the drumsticks. Cover, refrigerate, and let rest for 1-2 hours.
- Roasting The Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cover baking sheet with foil and place the mustard paste-coated drumsticks on the foil.
- Sprinkle the drumsticks with a little kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle a total of 1 tablespoon olive oil over top. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle an additional 1 tablespoon olive oil over the drumsticks.
- Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F and put the baking sheet back into the oven, rotating the pan. Roast for an additional 10 minutes, then baste the drumsticks with the juices on the foil.
- Roast for another 10-20 minutes, or until the outside of the chicken is deep golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 170 to 175 degrees F when a thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of one of the drumsticks and the juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
