American Chicken

5 servings

50 minutes

American-style chicken is a simple yet exquisite dish that reflects the traditions of American cuisine. The recipe is based on chicken drumsticks marinated in a fragrant mixture of balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, spices, and honey. This combination gives the meat a rich flavor with a slight tanginess, spicy notes, and delicate sweetness. Baked in the oven at 180 degrees until golden brown, the chicken acquires an appetizing texture: crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Historically, such dishes emerged in the USA within home cooking where simplicity of preparation and rich flavor became key qualities. It pairs perfectly with sides of roasted vegetables or potatoes as well as fresh salads, highlighting the richness of flavor nuances.
