Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks (skin removed*)
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 1 lime (squeezed, and lime zest)
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
- kosher salt, to taste
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Rinse the chicken and remove the skin and all fat. Pat dry; place in a large bowl and season with salt.
- In a small bowl combine Dijon, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, garlic and pepper. Mix well. Pour over chicken, tossing well to coat.
- Spray a large baking pan with a little Pam to prevent sticking since all the fat and skin was removed from chicken.
- Place chicken to fit in a single layer. Top the chicken with dried parsley.
- Bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes. Finish the chicken under the broiler until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
