Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 bone-in/skin-on chicken thighs, excess skin trimmed
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup pure honey
1/3 cup whole grain (stone ground) mustard
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon worcestershire
rice & side salad or steamed broccoli, if desired- for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Then place the oven rack into the center position.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place them into a large resealable plastic bag. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste, along with the garlic powder. Add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and use your hands to massage the spices into the chicken to fully coat. Set chicken aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, let's prep the honey mustard sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the honey, whole grain & dijon mustards, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and the worcestershire. Stir the mixture well to thoroughly combine and then set the bowl aside.
  • Heat a large (10-12 inch), oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add in the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil along with the butter.
  • Once the oil/butter is sizzling, add the chicken into the pan, working in batches. Let the chicken brown for 2-3 minutes on each side or until a deep, golden-brown color is achieved on both sides. Note: At this stage we're just browning the chicken, it will cook all the way through in the oven. Then place the browned chicken aside onto a clean plate and repeat the process until all chicken has been browned.
  • With all chicken set aside, add the shallot into the pan. Sauté the shallot, until tender, about 1-2 minutes. Then pour the honey mustard sauce into the pan, stirring continuously. Allow the sauce to come up to a slight boil and then turn off the heat.
  • Add all the browned chicken back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken pieces. Transfer the skillet into the oven.
  • Bake the chicken for 20 minutes on one side. Then flip the chicken over, basting the chicken, and bake on the other side for another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
  • Allow the chicken to cool down for 10 minutes. Then serve immediately alongside your favorite side dishes and enjoy!

ONE-PAN HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS



One-Pan Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
One 14-ounce bag frozen pearl onions
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
3 tablespoons honey mustard
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, quartered
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup frozen petite peas

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.

HOT MUSTARD AND HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN



Hot Mustard and Honey Glazed Chicken image

Asian hot mustard powder is a versatile pantry staple that can quickly transform into a spicy sauce, glaze or dressing. Here, the hot mustard is tamed with sweet honey and balanced by fragrant garlic for a savory glaze that caramelizes on chicken when roasted. Once cooked, the chicken receives a final basting for a fresh burst of spicy flavor. Make a double batch of the glaze, as it also tastes great on pork chops and grilled shrimp. Leftover chicken can quickly become a salad the next day; just chop and toss with spinach or romaine and a simple vinaigrette.

Provided by Kay Chun

Categories     dinner, easy, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup hot Asian mustard powder (or English dry mustard, such as Colman's)
6 tablespoons mild honey, such as clove or acacia
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
1 pound fingerling potatoes, sliced ½-inch thick
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
6 chicken legs (about 3½ pounds), drumsticks and thighs separated
Chopped scallions or chives, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk mustard powder with ¼ cup very hot water until well combined; let stand 5 minutes. (The heat of the water will activate and release the mustard's spicy flavor.) Add honey, soy sauce, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt, and whisk to combine. Reserve half of the sauce in a small bowl for basting.
  • On a rimmed sheet tray, combine carrots, potatoes and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss to evenly coat, and spread in an even layer.
  • Rub chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Add to the large bowl with the sauce and toss to evenly coat, then arrange on top of the vegetables.
  • Roast until vegetables are tender and chicken is golden and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Divide chicken and vegetables among plates and baste chicken all over with the remaining sauce. Pour sheet pan juices into a small bowl and skim off any excess fat.
  • Spoon over pan juices, garnish with scallions and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For best results, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones add flavor and the skin helps keep the chicken moist.
  • Brown the chicken before braising: Searing the chicken in a pan before braising adds a nice golden color and helps develop flavor.
  • Use a good quality honey mustard: The honey mustard is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a brand that you like. You can also make your own honey mustard using Dijon mustard, honey, and a little mayonnaise.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Honey mustard braised chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new chicken recipe, give honey mustard braised chicken a try.
