Crispy Baked Honey Mustard Parm Chicken Legs



Like most families nowadays, I cook on a tight budget.  Unfortunately it means A LOT of chicken, so sometimes it gets boring and you find yourself wanting something different.  I have seen recipes similar to this and decided to give it a shot.  Using things I had on hand, and being staples in a kitchen, makes it a simple & quick easy dish! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!


Crispy Baked Honey Mustard Parm Chicken Legs


Ingredients

6 Chicken Legs (skinless)
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup Kraft shredded Parmesean, Romano. & Asiago cheese (in refrigerated section with parmesean)
Salt & Pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400, lower to 350 when you place chicken in oven
2. In a dish combine mustard, honey, & sugar
3. In another dish combine breadcrumbs & shredded cheese
4. Season chicken with salt & pepper
5. Roll chicken in honey mustard, gently shake off extra
6. Roll in panko mixture, make sure chicken is evenly coated
7. Place on a cookie sheet (I sprayed some Pam on it so it wouldn't stick)
8. Cook 1hr or until cooked through.

Note: Only downside was I didn't flip it halfway and the bottom was not crunchy... Next time I would probably recommend turning halfway through to crisp all sides.

I served this with a pasta salad.. It was a quick, easy, & yummy dinner! Hope you enjoy!

  1. You could also use your favorite honey mustard if you didn't want to make your own. It would work just as well, and be slightly quicker! lol :)
