Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 chicken thighs or a mixture of thighs and drumsticks, about 2 pounds
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup minced shallot, onion, or scallion
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or Tabasco sauce, or to taste
Minced fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to its maximum and set the rack about 4 inches from the heat. Season the chicken on both sides and place it in a pan, skin side up. Broil, watching carefully, until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mustard, shallot, and cayenne. (If you have a small food processor, just throw them in there and pulse the machine on and off a few times.)
  • When the chicken has browned, remove it from the oven and turn it. Spread just a teaspoon or so of the mustard mixture on the underside of the chicken and broil for about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and spread the remaining mixture on the skin side. Broil until the mustard begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • At this point the chicken may be done (there will be only the barest trace of pink near the bone, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat will read 160°F). If it is not, turn off the broiler and let the chicken remain in the oven for another 5 minutes or so. Garnish with the parsley if you like and serve.
  • Variations
  • For extra crunch, combine the mustard and shallot with about 1 cup bread crumbs. Be especially careful in broiling, for the bread crumbs will burn very soon after they brown.
  • For extra flavor, combine the mustard and shallot with about 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (or basil, cilantro, dill, or chervil). Proceed as directed.
  • You can use the same coating with pork or veal chops; they should be at least 1 inch thick. Cooking time will be about the same.

Not a fan. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too sweet. I won't be making this dish again.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken thighs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was lip-smacking good. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal. I'll definitely be making this again.
