Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey mustard
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • sea salt to taste
  • 12 chicken drumsticks
  • 4 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Whisk together the honey mustard, chili sauce, eggs, and sea salt in a bowl. Place the chicken drumsticks in a large, sealable plastic bag; pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag. Allow to chill in refrigerator at least 4 hours.
  2. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Place the bread crumbs in the bottom of a wide dish; dredge the marinated chicken in the bread crumbs to coat. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat. Gently lie the breaded chicken into the hot oil until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, turning once if needed to get even coloring; transfer to a baking sheet.
  4. Cook the chicken legs in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
