### 👩🍳 How to Make Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Legs
#### 1. **Prepare the Marinade**
In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional spices until smooth.
#### 2. **Marinate the Chicken**
Place the chicken legs in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the honey mustard marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes — or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
#### 3. **Bake or Grill**
* **Oven:** Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Arrange chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment. Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway and basting with leftover marinade, until chicken is cooked through and skin is golden and sticky.
* **Grill:** Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill chicken legs for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with marinade until cooked and caramelized.
#### 4. **Serve**
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or creamy mashed potatoes.
