Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a big bowl, mix together honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, water, olive oil, and minced garlic until everything is well combined. Toss the chicken legs in the mixture, making sure each piece is nicely coated. Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet, then sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you poke the meat. If needed, flip the chicken halfway through and cook a little longer to get it just right.
Serving Options To Try
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the meal. Mashed potatoes or rice also pair well and soak up the delicious juices from the chicken.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken moist. For longer storage, freeze the cooked chicken for up to 2 months.
