Growing up drumsticks were standard with kid's meals but now it seems that chicken nuggets have replaced the leg on kid's plates and in their hearts. And that sucks. Chicken legs are cheaper and easier to make. Ain't nobody got time for fry up individual chicken nuggets, but I can sure throw a couple of legs in the oven. And let me state for the record (before I have this second kid and all standard's go out the window) frozen chicken nuggets are cheating.
Adapted from Simply Whisked
- 4 chicken legs
- 3 teaspoons dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place chicken legs on parchment papers on a baking sheet. Sprinkle legs with basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Bake for 55 minutes to an hour - make sure the internal temp has reached 165 degrees.
In a small pot over medium low heat, heat honey, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook for about a minute until sauce thickens. Stir.
Remove chicken from oven, glaze and glaze with honey mixture before serving.
