Chicken in the oven in honey mustard sauce

Chicken meat is probably the most popular in our kitchen. It’s both tasty and affordable, and you can prepare a lot of different dishes - bake the whole chicken in the oven, brown it in an original way with salt, and prepare various salads with chicken breast. And in order to get a tender and flavorful dish, housewives and professional chefs came up with many different marinades and sauces. To soften fibers and flavor, so many different ingredients are used that it is difficult to list - soy sauce, garlic, mustard, ketchup, honey, citrus fruits, dairy products and even alcohol.

The previous article was devoted to marinades made from soy sauce, which invariably turns any meat dish into the most tender, which your loved ones or guests will surely appreciate.

And today I want to introduce you to several recipes based on mustard and honey. Mustard not only softens the meat, but also gives it a tart taste. Honey adds sweet notes, which are very welcome in poultry dishes.

We leave the chicken in this sauce for several hours and always get an awesome treat.

Cooking tips

You can bake the whole chicken in the oven. This version of the dish looks especially elegant and festive. But you can also use individual parts - wings, thighs, drumsticks. Less commonly, fillets are baked in a honey-mustard marinade.

To prepare honey mustard sauce for chicken, you can use any natural honey. If it has thickened too much, you need to warm it up a little in a water bath or in the microwave. You can buy ready-made mustard for the sauce or make it yourself at home using mustard powder. You can also use grain mustard - it's a matter of taste.

To complement the sauce, various spices, soy sauce or adjika, and garlic are used. The chicken should be evenly coated with the marinade and left for a while so that the meat is soaked and acquires the taste and aroma of spices.

The chicken is baked either simply in the pan or wrapped in foil. You can also use a roasting bag. Along with the chicken, you can also prepare a side dish, it can be potatoes or vegetables.

Interesting Facts! The largest mustard growing center is India. But France is the leader in the production of seasoning; it is this country that accounts for more than half of all mustard produced in the world. In our country, the leader in mustard production is Volgograd.
