We have about four 'go-to' baked chicken recipes. but this week we needed another option. My inspiration for this new recipe was Honey Mustard Chicken. I found this particular version on Pinterest a while back and the Piwi's loved it.
I mixed up the flavors to make Maple teriyaki chicken. It turned out sticky and golden. Piwi Dad was all complements and the Piwi's ate without any critiques. Score! (or as Mini Piwi says Skort!).
Mini Piwi enjoyed helping me coat the chicken with the marinade. She took a long time working with the silicone pastry brush. She even announced to Daddy that we were having 'Paint Chicken'.
Here is the recipe I used to make 'Paint Chicken'
Ingredients
8 (2 1/2 ounces each) chicken drumsticks
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (I used Soy Vay very yaki teriyaki, see bottom of the post for picture)
1/8 cup maple syrup
1 table spoon olive oil
1 teaspoon (could use lemon juice)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a shallow baking dish with foil –these stuff is pretty sticky. Place drumsticks, skin side up, in pan. You can use a lined baking sheet, the pan just keeps your oven a bit cleaner from the splattering honey mix.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the sauce, syrup, oil, vinegar and black pepper. Brush the chicken with the mixture.
3. Bake about 45 mins, basting often with the remaining sauce mixture, until chicken is browned and juices run clear.
This sauce also works well on grilled Tilapia or Salmon.
