Simple Honey Mustard Chicken

Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs recipe, a savory dish that is prepared very quickly and does not require time for marinating. This Oven Baked dish can be complemented with a side dish of white rice, steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes to make a complete lunch or dinner for the whole family. Using thighs or breasts or other pieces of chicken, with this recipe we used chicken thighs with skin and bone. Its totally up to you to what pieces of chicken you would love to use.

Do you put mustard on meat before or after seasoning?

In this recipe we rubbed salt and pepper on the chicken and then we applied the honey mustard mixture all over the chicken. As it was not used for a marinate but to flavor the chicken pieces that were baked in the oven for a delicious meal. But mustard is applied to meats firstly to make the spice rub stick to the meats, and it makes the meat more tender and add so much flavor.

Why do people marinate their chicken in mustard?

You can marinate or just bake your chicken in mustard with honey as it will add some tang and texture to the chicken. Where as honey just balances the tang of the mustard and does not make the marinade or sauce to sweet.

Do you bake chicken covered or not?

When using chicken pieces that are smaller there is no need to cover the chicken when baked in the oven with sauce. But if you are baking or roasting a larger whole chicken you can cover with foil for the chicken to be cooked evenly and thoroughly. Taking it off to brown before totally done.

Chicken: For this recipe, we chose thighs with skin and bones. You can replace them with shanks or portioned pieces of chicken breast.

For the glaze: we mixed honey and Dijon mustard. 

Mustard: You can substitute Dijon mustard for the grain mustard.

Honey: But honey is preferable with a neutral flavor (herbal). Fresh garlic and aromatic spices are added to the glaze.

You can change the composition and proportions of these ingredients according to your taste and preferences.

How To

Peel the garlic and put it through a garlic press. Place garlic, spices, mustard, olive oil and honey in a saucepan. Add a little salt and stir all the ingredients to make a homogeneous porridge.

Blot the chicken thighs in a towel from excess liquid. Cut off excess fat. Rub the chicken with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Brush each piece generously with honey-mustard glaze on all sides. Place the thighs in the baking dish. You can simply place them on a baking tray.

They will be crispier that way. Bake the chicken in a preheated 190 deg. C (375 deg. F) oven for about 40 minutes, or until the center reaches 165ºF on a meat thermometer.

Remove the baked thighs from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest on the counter for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh chard leaves and serve. Enjoy!

The baked thighs can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-4 days in a container or frozen.
