  • Cook Time: 50
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 1x
  • Category: main dish
  • Method: oven-baked

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 Chicken Drumsticks
  • 2 TBS House Seasoning Blend (recipe in notes)
  • 1 TBS Frank’s RedHot Seasoning Blend
  • 1 cup Peach Chutney
  • 1/2 Stick Butter, melted


Instructions

DAY BEFORE (AT LEAST 3 HOURS BEFORE)

  1. Pat each drumstick dry with a paper towel, then evenly sprinkle the house seasoning and Frank’s RedHot seasoning over each chicken leg.
  2. Let these “marinate” in a baking dish uncovered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  3. Remove the dish from the fridge half an hour before baking.

Baking the Chicken Legs

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Bake the marinated chicken legs for 20-25 minutes on one side.
  3. Flip the chicken and bake an additional 20-25 minutes.
  4. While the chicken bakes, mix together the peach chutney and melted butter.
  5. When a meat thermometer reads 165˚, start slathering the chicken with the sweet glaze.
  6. Brush each chicken leg with the chutney glaze, then bake for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Continue to brush the glaze and bake the chicken until an internal temperature of 175-185 degrees is reached.
  8. Serve immediately!

Notes

HOUSE SEASONING

  • 1/4 cup garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup onion powder
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1/8 cup black pepper

Mix all of these ingredients together. Store in an air-tight container (I prefer a mason jar!), and use often!
