Creamy Mustard Chicken
This recipe pairs browned chicken legs with a rich, creamy mustard sauce. The chicken gets a good sear first, developing a golden crust, then simmers gently in a sauce built on aromatics, chicken stock, and a touch of honey. It's a straightforward stovetop meal that comes together in under an hour, with most of that time being hands-off simmering.

Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels. Season them generously all over with 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and paprika. - 02
Sear the Chicken
Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 4 tablespoons of olive oil and let it shimmer for a few seconds. Carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces to the hot oil without crowding the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are deep golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
