Chicken Drumsticks with Mustard and Bacon is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish.
On the blog, you will find many chicken recipes, I recommend also trying the spicy chicken thighs and chicken thighs with olives and paprika.
The drumsticks are a tasty recipe: the meat remains tender and flavorful, while the crispy bacon crust makes the dish truly irresistible.
The choice of mustard greatly changes the result, I recommend Dijon mustard, with a slightly spicy taste, which pairs perfectly with 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 Texas-style potatoes or with savory gratin carrots.
