Ingredients:

4 to 6 bone-in chicken thighs or legs, or 4 boneless.
3 tablespoons of kosher salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup red pepper jelly

In a separate small pot on low heat combine soy sauce, pepper jelly and mustard.
Whisk until the mixture is dissolved.
Remove the chicken from the pan and dispose of the excess oil.
Place the chicken back in the pan.
Brush the pepper jelly mixture on the chicken.
Now place the pan in the oven and cook the chicken for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Take out of the oven and let the chicken sit for 5 minutes before cutting.
