These savory mustard chicken wings are a take on whole roasted chicken with mustard and garlic.  Using chicken wings, allows me to “fancy up” a favorite game day treat.  My husband has requested these for the remainder of his college football watching season.  So, I’ve got Alabama vs Georgia and hopefully, Alabama vs Notre Dame.

I’m also using Saucy Mama Dijon Mustard in this recipe.  Y’all do know that I am in fact A Saucy Mama?!  I’ve participated in several of their contests and even met the actual people behind this product at the 2011 Fancy Food Show in D.C.  They are the nicest people and they make some of the best mustards and sauces you’ll ever taste!  They were even kind enough to offer a prize for our Holiday Gift Extravaganza: a gift set of flavored mustards and sauces!

You won’t believe the explosion of flavor pulled together in this photo!

Add mustard and all seasoning ingredients to a bowl and stir together with olive oil

Coat wings with mustard mixture and place on a oven proof skillet or baking dish…Be sure to spoon any remaining mixture atop wings.

After baking, serve on their own or with something like mashed red potatoes….Awesomely Delicious!

Savory Mustard Chicken Wings

1 pound chicken wings, about 6 wings
2 tablespoons dijon mustard, I used Saucy Mama Dijon Mustard
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon hot paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine.  Place wings in the bowl and toss to coat with mustard mixture.  Place wings, top side/flat side up, on a heavy ovenproof skillet or baking dish.  Spoon any remaining mustard mixture atop wings.  Bake for 25 minutes, flip wings and bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp both sides.
