One of our recent culinary discoveries is honey mustard chicken. We both love this perfect combination of tastes. Something sour, something sweet. Something for her, something for him. Like a perfect marriage. When I first made this dish Tyler said that it was the best thing I'd ever cooked. Well, honestly it's really good and really easy to make.
Here is the recipe:
Here is the recipe:
- 6-8 chicken legs
- 125 ml honey
- 4 table spoons of Dijon mustard
- 4 table spoons whole grain mustard (coarse)
- 4 table spoons white wine vinegar
- 2 table spoons vegatable oil (sunflower, canola)
- salt, peper
To make the marinade, mix all of the ingredients (except chicken) in a large bowl. To ensure the marinade gets deep into the meat, each chicken leg needs to have three parallel cuts. After you make the cuts combine the chicken with the marinade. Go ahead and use your hands, have some fun :) Leave the bowl in the fridge for at least an hour. Then prepare a medium size glass baking pan. When you are ready place the chicken legs in the pan and leave the marinade aside. Preheat the oven to 430 F (220 C) and place the pan in the oven to bake for 40 min. Occasionally, open the oven and pour some marinade onto the chicken, repeat a couple of times.
Serve with potatoes and salad. Enjoy as we did!
