Cooking Instructions

step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

step 2

Place Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Legs (2 lb) in a greased (I always forget) shallow baking pan skin-side up.

step 3

Combine Butter (1/2 cup), Honey (1/2 cup), Dijon Mustard (4 Tbsp), Mango Chutney (2 Tbsp), Curry Powder (1 tsp) and mix well.

step 4

Pour over the chicken then toss with a spatula (or your hands) so that the pieces are nicely coated and so the sauce fills the underside of the chicken.

step 5

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Baste until after the hour mark, then let it caramelize. Also, keep an eye on it — the sauce chars quickly especially at the end.
