Chicken Drumsticks with Mustard and Bacon

Chicken Drumsticks with Mustard and Bacon is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish.
On the blog, you’ll find many chicken recipes. I also recommend trying the spiced chicken thighs and the chicken with olives and paprika.
Chicken drumsticks are a tasty recipe: the meat remains tender and flavorful, while the bacon’s crust makes the dish truly irresistible.
The choice of mustard greatly changes the result; I recommend Dijon mustard, which has a slightly spicy taste that perfectly matches the bacon. If you prefer a sweeter touch, you can add a little honey to the mustard. You can accompany the recipe with potatoes or Texan potatoes or with deliciously gratinated oven-baked carrots.
