Honey Glazed Chicken

A must for your superbowl party! This dish takes all of 5 minutes to prepare but it needs a good hour to bake so that the honey juices simmer down to a rich thick golden glaze and coat the chicken perfectly (make sure to use drumsticks only as only they will remain tender and juicy). It is definitely worth the wait! I should note that this recipe, exactly as written, is ideal for a picnic because the honey glaze just coats the drumsticks perfectly so you can eat it with your fingers. In fact, back in 2009, Oprah magazine published my honey glazed chicken as a healthy tailgate party alternative. The feedback was finger-licking tremendous! However, if you want to make this dish as a dinner entrée and would like more sauce to sop up, I recommend you just double the sauce ingredients while leaving the chicken constant–but the salt should be no more than 3/4 tsp!

Tip: You can get the butcher at the supermarket to take off the skin at no extra charge to cut down on preparation time.

Author Catherine Katz

Ingredients

  • 12 free range chicken drumsticks skinless
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 lemon 1/4 cup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • ¼ tsp mild curry powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 370° F.
  • Rinse and pat dry chicken.
  • Combine mustard, lemon juice, honey, curry powder and salt in large bowl.
  • Place the chicken in the marinade and stir to coat all the pieces (you can do this part ahead and leave it covered in the refrigerator overnight if you would like but it is not necessary).
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour, turning the pieces over a couple times and basting occasionally until the sauce has thickened to a rich thick golden glaze and the chicken meat almost falls off the bone.
  • Do not worry if it starts out “liquidy” it will thicken, just keep checking until it looks just right!

    I absolutely LOVE this recipe!!! This has been one of my favorites for years, and every time I would come home from college, it would be my first meal request. Since then, it’s become one that I so much enjoy making myself. It’s easy, fun, super delicious (and of course healthy), comes out looking beautiful, and it’s so easy to make enough to have leftovers! Of course, scrolling through the other chicken dishes to get to this one, I couldn’t see one that I don’t love from the first bite to the last – the last bite is sad because I never want any of these dishes to be done. All so wonderful. So excited to begin trying all the other recipes!! I only wish I could give this dish even more hearts!!

    That’s great Rebeca! I love that you just made it work for you! This brings me back to those days when the kids were little and an extra run to the grocery store meant car seats and diapers (argh!) and all that schlepping the troupe involved, so I know exactly what you mean! Most of all, I LOVE that your little picky eaters gobbled it up and even asked for more! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment!

    Very happy with this recipe! I always look for easy weeknight chicken recipes that also don’t have complicated ingredients (resulting in a run to the grocery store). I substituted chicken thighs for chicken legs (it’s what I had on hand), spicy mustard for Dijon mustard and paprika for curry powder (again didn’t have the other ingredients but figured it would still work). Prep was really only about 5 mins and just threw it in the oven and finished all my chores I had to do and occasionally basted and turned as recipe directed. Chicken was done in 1 hour and my picky eaters (ages 4,5,& 14) gobbled it up and asked for more! I will put this into the rotation.

    […] Honey Glazed Chicken: These are fantastic for a Superbowl party! This recipe was written up as one of Oprah’s tailgating favorites –They are the lighter version of traditional chicken wings. This dish takes all of 5 minutes to prepare but it needs a good hour to bake so that the honey juices simmer down to a rich thick golden glaze and coat the chicken perfectly.  I like to serve these at room temperature so you can eat the drumsticks with your fingers–just pass the napkins, you’ll need them!
