I have some chicken legs which I plan on roasting. When they're done and resting, I'm roasting some potatoes.

I don't really fancy doing a gravy, it's booorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring.

I have clear honey, dijon mustard, sour cream, onions, various herbs, etc. I'd like to do a sauce to pour over the chicken. I can't find a recipe for a pouring sauce that I have all the ingredients for. Any ideas?

Blend some honey and mustard with a tiny bit of cooking oil and salt and rub some of it into the chicken skin before cooking. Reserve the rest, blend with either sour cream, mayonnaise or, apparently, cider vinegar, to form a sauce.

Thanks everyone!

In the end I nicked some of my husband's cider.
Instead of roasting the legs, I browned them in the pan, took them out, deglazed with some vegetable stock, chucked the legs back in and let them cook in the stock. Then I took the chicken out, reduced the stock, added 100ml of cider, tossed the chicken back in and let it cook some more. I mixed 3 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 teaspoons of dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons of honey. took the chicken out one last time, reduced the cider/broth right down, poured in the mixture and a bit of cornflour paste to thicken things up. Added the chicken one last time.

It were lovely. :D
