8 skinless chicken drumsticks

cooking spray

1/2 cup (125 mL) Dijon mustard

1/4 cup (60 mL) maple syrup

2 tbsp (30 mL) apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp (15 mL) freshly-chopped rosemary

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). In a bowl, whisk together Dijon, maple syrup, vinegar, salt and pepper, and rosemary.
2 Pat the chicken drumsticks dry between paper towels. In a large bowl or freezer bag, toss drumsticks with half the maple Dijon sauce.
