3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons honey mustard
4 teaspoons honey
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon meat tenderizer
2 chicken leg quarters with skin
Directions/Instructions Checklist
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine oil, honey mustard, and honey in a bowl until well combined. Stir in garlic, paprika, chives, basil, adobo seasoning, onion powder, and meat tenderizer. Stir until fully blended.
Step 3
Coat the bottom of a glass baking dish with 2 to 3 tablespoons of mustard sauce mixture. Place chicken legs on top and cover with the rest of the sauce mixture. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 60 to 75 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Cook's Notes:
You can use a mixture of 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons canola oil instead of all canola oil. I prefer to use the green labeled adobo all-purpose seasoning containing cumin.
If you like, you can uncover the chicken towards the end and move it under the broiler to crisp for 10 to 15 minutes.
