Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken
Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken – a simple recipe for chicken baked to perfection with a honey, mustard and soy sauce glaze.
I was going to post my Guinness brownies recipe today but at the last minute I decided to share this easy chicken drumstick recipe with you because it’s the bomb. I promise, next post will be brownies.
I’m sure everyone must have their favorite chicken recipe, and over the years I’ve shared many favorites of mine here, but this honey mustard glazed chicken has got to be somewhere at the very top.
Aside from the simplicity and the availability of the ingredients, this chicken is sweet, it’s spicy, it’s sticky, and it’s sinfully delicious. That sauce caramelizes as the chicken bakes turning into this most amazing and flavorful glaze ever. I’m telling you this chicken is finger licking good and you will be licking your fingers as you eat this.
The great thing about this chicken recipe is that it can easily be made in a slow cooker, giving you the same delicious chicken. I used chicken drumsticks but you can use anything you like here, chicken thighs or breasts, whatever you prefer. Even chicken wings would be awesome, but make sure you make at least a couple pounds of them, they might go too fast.
This chicken goes great served over some rice or with a side of veggies.

Great recipe, my boyfriend and I loved it
Liz says
Are chili flakes the same thing as red pepper flakes? Thanks.
Joanna Cismaru says
Yes they are. 🙂
Bianca says
Hello. If I were using chicken wings instead, would the cooking time be different? Thank you.
Joanna Cismaru says
Hi Bianca, yes chicken wings would require a bit less time, they would probably take 40 to 45 minutes, best to check them though.
Laurel Jackson says
Hi Jo,
Laurel here in Australia… thank you so much for this ‘lovely’… have made this a
couple of times now and as I tap away here, ‘same’ is cooking in the oven (lol).. Have shared this (and your site) with others who, I know, will also enjoy.
Again.. many thanks – you present some really ‘great stuff’..Cheers from Oz!
Joanna Cismaru says
Thank you so much Laurel! Glad you’re enjoying my recipes!
Sarah Geralds says
I just discovered your website of recipes. I tried a Garlic Chicken recipe, but tonight I tried this one. My favorite so far! 🙂 I almost just wanted to eat the sauce mixture by itself before adding to the chicken. I wonder if marinating the chicken a bitter longer prior to backing if it would make it even better. Going to try that next.
Joanna Cismaru says
Glad you like this!
Keke says
My hubby went crazy over this!!!!! It was delicious and the chicken was so tender. All of your recipes have been just awesome, thanks for sharing all of your goodies:)
Joanna Cismaru says
My pleasure, so glad you guys enjoyed this!
Monte says
Hi Jo,
My name is Monte and I’m a Mr. MOM at our house. I’ve tried several of your recipes and ALL of them were excellent! I can’t wait to try this one. My Fam loves your recipes and are anticipating the Honey Mustard chicken tonight!
Joanna Cismaru says
Thank you Monte, I love to hear from the dads out there who do the cooking in the house. 🙂
Tu says
Would dijon mustard be an ok substitute for the grainy mustard?
Joanna Cismaru says
You could, but you might get a bit of different flavor for your end result.
Nancy K says
I made this for dinner and it was delicious, thanks for the recipe!
Joanna Cismaru says
My pleasure, so happy you liked it!
Kathy says
Are chili flakes and crushed red pepper the same thing?
Joanna Cismaru says
Yes they are.
Deb says
Would you double the sauce if using a slow cooker? Boneless or bone-in for chicken breasts in slow cooker? Love your recipes !!
Every one I have tried is a 5 star:)
Joanna Cismaru says
Hmm that’s a good question. I don’t think I’d double the soy sauce because that would just be too much sodium but I would maybe add some chicken broth instead and you could double the rest of the ingredients, especially if you’re adding more drumsticks.
Roxana says
How long would you cook them in a slow-cooker? They look delicious!
Joanna Cismaru says
Hi Roxana,
I would cook them for about 3 hours on high or 6 on low.
