Categories     Easy

Time 6h50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lbs 14 count Chicken Legs or drumsticks
1/4 cup olive oil ((Use light oil, not extra virgin))
4 garlic cloves (pressed or minced)
4 Tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
3 Tbsp lemon juice from 1 large lemon
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp salt ((we use fine sea salt))
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine all of the marinade ingredients and stir or whisk together until well blended .
  • Transfer chicken legs to a large mixing bowl or a large ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss with your hands to evenly coat the chicken, pushing some of the marinade under the skin of each chicken leg for richer flavor. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate 6 hours or overnight, tossing chicken once while marinating.
  • Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or a silpat. Arrange chicken skin-side-down and bring chicken to room temp while oven preheats. Brush chicken legs with any extra marinade left in the mixing bowl. Bake at 400˚F in the center of oven for 25 minutes skin-side-down then turn the chicken legs over and bake additional 25 minutes skin-side-up. For crispier skin, broil on high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until skins have browned.*

LEMON-DIJON CHICKEN SKILLET



Lemon-Dijon Chicken Skillet image

This tender chicken in a luscious lemon-Dijon sauce might look like it came from a nice restaurant, but it's a dish you can cook up in your own kitchen, while staying within budget (and under 400 calories!). The trick is using the cooking juices as the base of the rich-tasting sauce and upping its flavor further with a couple of impactful ingredients, like Dijon, rosemary and lemon. While we often like cooking with boneless chicken thighs for the sake of convenience, bone-in chicken ensures extra flavor in this recipe. Remember to remove the chicken from the pan, so it doesn't overcook while you finish the sauce. Keep the chicken warm, and then plate it all up beautifully. When you serve up this meal, your dinner companions will be impressed, and you can congratulate yourself on pulling off such a nice meal without any extra fuss.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH DIJON AND MEYER LEMON



Grilled Chicken with Dijon and Meyer Lemon image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Meyer lemons, 2 zested and juiced and 2 halved
1 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 (3-pound) chickens, backbone removed and split in 1/2
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon juice, zest, mustard, rosemary and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the mustard mixture to loosen it. Paint this mixture generously all over the chicken and let sit for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. If you have any of the mustard mixture left over, save it for repainting while the chicken is cooking.
  • Preheat the grill to medium (you want the chicken to cook on the grill as long as possible without burning to develop lovely crispy, tasty skin). Brush off any crud on the grill with a wire grill brush and run an oiled towel over the grill to pick up any bits of loosened crud. Season the chicken lightly with salt and arrange gently on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. If the chicken flares up, move it to a cooler part of the grill; you don't want sooty film on the chicken (it won't taste good).
  • Once the chicken has started to brown and crisp, it's a good idea to close the grill to allow the heat to cook the chicken from all directions. You want to cook the chicken skin side down for a total of 10 to 12 minutes, then turn it over and cook it for another 10 to 12 minutes. If you're using a grill pan, you can transfer the chicken to a 375 degree F oven when it's ready to flip so it can finish cooking. If there is leftover mustard mixture, use it to paint the skin of the chicken on the second side. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F.
  • When the chicken is nearly done, place the lemon halves on the grill cut side down and leave them alone until brown and caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. (These will smell great while they're grilling!)
  • Remove the chicken from the heat and serve with the grilled lemon for extra lemony goodness.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings: Look for plump and meaty chicken wings with no bruises or discoloration. Fresh or frozen wings can be used, just make sure to thaw frozen wings completely before cooking.
  • Dry the chicken wings thoroughly: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking. This will help the seasoning stick to the wings and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken wings, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the wings from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the chicken wings until they are golden brown and crispy: The chicken wings should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will ensure that the wings are juicy and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Lemon-Dijon sauce is a classic dipping sauce for chicken wings, but you can also serve them with your favorite barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.

Conclusion:

Lemon-Dijon chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these wings that are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tasty and crowd-pleasing dish, give lemon-Dijon chicken wings a try. You won't be disappointed!
