Easy Sheet-Pan Chicken image

Crisp-skinned and very juicy, this is a more sophisticated version of the crumb-coated, oven-fried chicken dishes of childhood. In addition to bread crumbs, the chicken is slathered with two kinds of mustard plus fresh thyme and minced garlic, which makes it deeply flavored, bright and complex. And because it calls for only one pan, clean up is minimal. While the recipe calls for bone-in drumsticks and/or thighs, if you prefer boneless white meat, feel free to substitute it, reducing the cooking time by 5 to 10 minutes. Serve this with potatoes - either sweet or white - and your favorite green vegetable or salad. It's weeknight cooking at its finest.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons chopped thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks (or a mixture), patted dry
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup plain dried bread crumbs
Olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine whole-grain mustard, thyme leaves, garlic cloves, butter and Dijon mustard.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Rub mustard butter mixture all over chicken (some might fall off but that's O.K.). Place bread crumbs in a wide, shallow bowl, then coat the chicken evenly with bread crumbs. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake until chicken is golden and no longer pink, 35 to 40 minutes.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The chicken was burnt and the vegetables were roasted to perfection. I'm never making this recipe again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry and the vegetables were roasted to perfection. I'll have to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right.
