Spiced Mustard Chicken Recipes

SPICY HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• To make the honey mustard: Whisk the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and hot sauce together in a medium bowl.
• To make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. If using 2 large breasts, then place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and halve them horizontally so you end up with 4 pieces of even thickness (if using chicken cutlets, skip this step). If the chicken pieces are thicker than 1/2 inch, place a large sheet of plastic wrap on a cutting board and set 1 piece of chicken on top. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and then pound the chicken to a 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a heavy-bottomed pot. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
• Add the chicken to the bowl with the mustard mixture and turn to coat. In a second medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, thyme, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Dredge each piece of chicken through the bread crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs into each side. Place a metal cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, and mist the rack with spray. Spray each piece of chicken on both sides and set it on the rack. Bake the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

CHICKEN IN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the meat with the salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, brown the chicken for one-and-a-half minutes on each side.
• Mix in the onion and continue cooking for one minute.
• Sprinkle the flour on the chicken pieces, turning them so that all the pieces are coated. Cook one minute to lightly brown the flour.
• Add the water and stir to dissolve the flour until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the skillet and boil gently for five minutes.
• Remove the meat to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Cook the sauce to reduce it to about one-and-a-half cups. Mix the dry mustard with the Dijon mustard and stir until smooth. Stir the mustard mixture into the sauce and heat, but do not allow the sauce to boil after the mustard has been added.
• Place the chicken pieces in the sauce and warm over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes to develop the flavor.
• Serve the chicken with the sauce.

SPICY BROWN MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Brush the chicken breast halves on all sides with the mustard. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Press the chicken into the bread crumbs to evenly coat. Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix the butter, lemon juice, and water. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the mixture over each chicken breast. Pour the remaining mixture around the breasts in the dish.
• Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Uncover, season with paprika, and continue baking 15 minutes.

MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place mustard in a shallow dish or bowl; place onions in a second shallow dish or bowl. Dredge chicken in mustard to coat both sides, then dredge in onions. Place coated chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

SPICY CHINESE MUSTARD CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Up to 1 day before cooking, bring about 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt, sugar, ginger, scallions and garlic. Stir to dissolve salt and sugar and set aside to cool to room temperature. Place wings in a container or a thick, sealable plastic bag. Add brine, seal and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24.
• Make the sauce: In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. When it ripples, add ginger, garlic and scallions and cook until soft but not brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add remaining sauce ingredients and simmer about 30 minutes, until thick but still a bit runny. Turn off heat and let cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more mustard powder, brown sugar and cayenne. Set aside or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Pour off brine, rinse chicken in cold water and drain well on paper towels. Spread a cup or so of starch in a shallow bowl. Heat the oven to 250 degrees and place a sheet pan inside.
• In a heavy, deep pot or wok, heat 3 to 4 inches oil to 350 degrees. Warm the sauce and transfer half to a large metal bowl.
• Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, dredge wings in starch and shake off any excess. Gently drop into hot oil and fry until golden, crispy and floating in the oil, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. The skin will blister and crisp but will not get very brown.
• When done, lift out wings with a slotted spoon, shaking to remove excess oil, and drop into sauce. Toss and shake until wings are well coated. Lift out and transfer to sheet pan in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining wings and sauce, adding more starch to the bowl as needed. Serve immediately.

ONE-PAN HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken thighs dry and sprinkle the skin side generously with salt and pepper.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large, high-sided ovenproof skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down. (This may have to be done in batches, depending on the size on your chicken thighs, to avoid overcrowding the skillet.) Sprinkle the underside of the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken skin is golden brown, crispy and easily releases from the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the white wine. Cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the harsh alcohol smells burns off and the wine has slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the frozen onions and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and 2 tablespoons honey mustard. Stir the mixture until well combined and emulsified. Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves to the skillet and stir to coat the mushrooms in the mixture.
• Turn the heat off. Nestle the chicken into the vegetable mixture. Add the remaining tablespoon honey mustard and tablespoon oil to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Brush the tops of the chicken thighs with the honey mustard mixture.
• Transfer the chicken to the oven and cook until the vegetables are browned and the chicken is 165 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Turn the oven off. Remove the chicken from the oven and add the frozen peas. Stir slightly to submerge them in the sauce. Return the skillet to the oven until the peas are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, plate the chicken and vegetables and top with the pan sauce.

• In a bowl, mix the butter, lemon juice, and water. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the mixture over each chicken breast. Pour the remaining mixture around the breasts in the dish.
• Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Uncover, season with paprika, and continue baking 15 minutes.
