Cider-Glazed Chicken Drumsticks
Servings 4
Equipment
- Large Dutch oven
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- ½ cup apple cider
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven 350 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken drumsticks evenly with the sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Place the drumsticks into the hot Dutch oven and cook, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Flip the chicken drumsticks over and place the uncovered Dutch oven into the preheated oven.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and place the chicken on a plate covered loosely with a foil tent.
- Place the Dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the apple cider and Dijon mustard then whisk together, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Whisk, while it boils, until it reduces down a bit and thickens up, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, if needed.
- Place the drumsticks and their juices back into the Dutch oven and toss to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place on a platter then serve with additional sauce on the side. Enjoy.
