Whole Grain Mustard Chicken Marinade Recipes

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds), squeeze out the air, seal tightly and massage gently to coat the chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
• To cook: Transfer the chicken from the bag to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Roast in a 425-degree F oven for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes more.

NO-WASTE TANGY MUSTARD MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine about 2 tablespoons mustard with juice and zest of 1/2 lemon, sage, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, and honey. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper; shake well. Use to marinate chicken or pork, and let stand, covered, for 1 hour. Roast, broil, or grill the meat (wipe off marinade before grilling).

UNBELIEVABLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, mix the cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, lime juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil. Place chicken in the mixture. Cover, and marinate 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on the prepared grill, and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, until juices run clear. Discard marinade.

DOUBLE-THE-MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND GREENS

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Whisk Dijon mustard, 2 Tbsp. honey, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl to combine. Season chicken on all sides with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Transfer to bowl with honey mustard and toss to coat.
• Toss potatoes, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange chicken legs (skin side up) in the center of pan; discard excess marinade. Arrange potatoes around outside of pan in an even layer, then turn cut side down (this will help them brown better). Arrange rosemary over potatoes. Roast until chicken and potatoes are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, 30-40 minutes.
• Whisk garlic, lemon juice, whole grain mustard, and remaining 1/3 cup oil, 2 tsp. honey, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Divide chicken and potatoes among plates, then arrange frisée and parsley alongside potatoes. Drizzle dressing over chicken, potatoes, and frisée.
• Do Ahead: Chicken can be marinated 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PORT AND WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the chicken over high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl it in the skillet. As soon as you begin to see slight wisps of smoke, carefully place the chicken skin side down in the skillet. Sear the chicken, undisturbed, while reducing the heat little by little to medium, until its skin has turned golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken skin side up.
• Put the skillet into the oven and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a skewer, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on its size. When the chicken is done, transfer it to the plate and keep warm.
• Pour off all but a thin layer of fat from the skillet. Add the port, put the skillet over high heat, and reduce until half remains. Add the chicken stock and reduce again. (If using BBQ sauce, you don't have to reduce.) Add the cream, bring it to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the Dijon and Meaux mustards and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with parsley and tarragon.

WHOLE ROASTED MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss onion, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, and 3 thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper; spread in a single layer. Season chicken cavity with salt and pepper, then stuff with lemons and remaining 6 thyme sprigs. Rub remaining 1 tablespoon oil over skin, brush with mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Tie legs with twine. Place on top of vegetables; roast 20 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a carving board; let stand 15 minutes. Meanwhile, return vegetables to oven. Continue roasting until tender and golden brown in places, 12 to 15 minutes more. Carve chicken and serve, with vegetables and lemon wedges alongside.

MUSTARD BALSAMIC CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients together.
• Let chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.

CHICKEN IN MANY MUSTARDS MARINADE FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Combine apple juice, mustards, vinegar, oil, lemon juice and shallot in a medium bowl and mix well.
• Place chicken in a single layer in a shallow non-reactive pan. Pour marinade over, cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
• To cook, drain chicken, reserving marinade. Place chicken over medium-hot coals and grill 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 C). While chicken is grilling, place reserved marinade in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil (or use a fresh batch of marinade ingredients). Reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes, or until chicken has finished cooking. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
