Chicken Drumsticks are a great choice for family meals. Usually, budget-friendly over more expensive cuts of meat, like boneless chicken breasts, they are also a great option for kids because of the grab and go portability of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for lunches, picnics and even barbecues with a salad in the Summer or as a tray bake and filling meal in the colder months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Remove the Skin from  Chicken Drumsticks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To keep these lean and a healthier option, I use skinless chicken drumsticks, which are impossible to buy at most grocery stores unless you have a very friendly butcher who will do it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don't let that put you off buying these, it is really easy to remove the skin and you will be a pro in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend some thick kitchen paper or a clean kitchen towel for this. You gently want to start removing the skin from the bulkier\/meatier part of the drumsticks, until you can grip the skin with the kitchen paper or towel and then you can easily remove with one quick tug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use other cuts of chicken?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is yes, but I do not recommend using chicken breasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken thighs are a much better option, they stay much more tender and won't overcook before the glaze starts to go golden and coat the chicken pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Mustard<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are various different types of mustard out there. The most common generally being basic yellow mustard or dijon mustard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this Honey and Mustard recipe, you definitely don't want to use regular yellow mustard. Instead, opt for wholegrain mustard, so you get the lovely colour of the mustard seeds in the glaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
