Caramelized Baked Chicken

Today, let’s cook some poultry, it won’t hurt to take a break from the pastries, hey!

Marinated in a sauce made from soy sauce, honey and mustard then simply roasted in the oven, the chicken becomes half-grilled, half-caramelized and spiced up just right.

It’s a perfect recipe for lazy evenings: put the dish in the oven and forget it!

Note that if you don’t have legs (chicken, I mean!), You can make this recipe with wings or drumsticks depending on what you have in stock.

A sweet and salty mixture that will awaken your taste buds.
