Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken drumsticks about 2 1/2 pounds total, fully thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400°F; line a rimmed sheet pan with foil. Pat drumsticks dry; toss with oil, salt and pepper. Space apart on pan.
  2. Roast 25 minutes, turning halfway. Mix maple syrup, mustard and garlic; brush over chicken with a clean brush.
  3. Roast 15–20 minutes more, turning once and brushing with remaining glaze. Chicken must reach at least 165°F away from bone; 175–185°F gives more tender drumsticks. Tent loosely with foil if glaze darkens too fast. Rest 5 minutes.

Notes

Equipment: rimmed sheet pan, instant-read thermometer.
