Maple Mustard Glazed Chicken Legs

Holy moly chicken legs are CHEAP. This was my first attempt at a recipe using only chicken legs, and I was pleasantly surprised when I only paid four bucks for six of them at Trader Joes. AND I didn't mess up the sauce, so it was legit a cheap kitchen adventure :-)

Maple Mustard Glazed Chicken Legs:



Ingredients:
  • 6 chicken legs
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup organic maple syrup
  • 3 tsp thyme
  • garlic
  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons stone ground mustard
Salt and pepper the chicken. Cook in olive oil, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the skillet and add broth, syrup, thyme, and garlic. Stir well, then add mustard and vinegar. Cook for 3-4 minutes then add chicken back in. Cook an additional 5 minutes, then place chicken in baking dish and pour sauce over. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked.
