Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a big bowl, mix together the mustard, mayo, minced garlic, and the zest and juice from one lime until it’s well combined. Season your chicken drumsticks and thighs with salt and garlic pepper, then toss them into the bowl with the sauce, making sure each piece is nicely coated. Arrange the chicken in a baking dish and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 40 minutes, or until the skin is golden and the juices run clear.

While the chicken is cooking, chop up the tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro, then mix them in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and squeeze in the juice of another lime to brighten the flavors. When the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and spoon some of the pan juices over the top. Serve it all up with plenty of the fresh salsa and a sprinkle of parsley to finish.
