Chef's Note
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator before cooking. Just remember to bring it to room temperature for about 15 minutes before searing.

Ingredients
4 pieces chicken drumsticks
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Pat the 4 chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a medium bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3
Mince 2 garlic cloves and add to a small bowl.
- 4
In the same small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar (reserving 1 tablespoon for later), 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until well combined.
- 5
Pour three-quarters of the marinade over the chicken drumsticks, turning to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining quarter of the marinade for basting.
- 6
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the drumsticks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 8
During the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the drumsticks with the reserved marinade.
- 9
While the chicken is finishing, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar with the pan juices in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced to create a glaze.
- 10
Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 11
Drizzle the reduced balsamic glaze over the drumsticks before serving.
