Ingredients

•

2 lb

Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Legs

•

1/2 cup

Butter , melted

•

1/2 cup

Honey

•

4 Tbsp

Dijon Mustard

•

2 Tbsp

Mango Chutney

(optional)

•

2 tsp

Curry Powder

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Place Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Legs (2 lb) in a greased (I always forget) shallow baking pan skin-side up.

Combine Butter (1/2 cup) , Honey (1/2 cup) , Dijon Mustard (4 Tbsp) , Mango Chutney (2 Tbsp) , Curry Powder (2 tsp) and mix well.

Pour over the chicken then toss with a spatula (or your hands) so that the pieces are nicely coated and so the sauce fills the underside of the chicken.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Baste until after the hour mark, then let it caramelize. Also, keep an eye on it — the sauce chars quickly especially at the end.

Author's Notes

You can use all thighs, all drumsticks, or whole legs intact, but you want about 2 lbs. total.
