Recipe: Delicious Dijon and Thyme Roasted Chicken Drumstick

Dijon and Thyme Roasted Chicken Drumstick. While I love having whole roasted chickens to pick from, using chicken pieces lends itself to an easy weeknight meal. The drumsticks are coated in a paste made of Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, and shallots.

Sprinkle some dried thyme over the chicken and add a few cracks of pepper. In a small bowl, combine dijon mustard, shallots, garlic, thyme and salt and pepper.
