I drooled on the page of the book I found this recipe in. That was a positive indication that I needed to make this dish. ;o) All Hail the Poultry! The chicken needs to marinate for at least four hours (or overnight), so be sure to start in advance. Time estimate doesn't include the 4+ hour marination, but DOES include the subsequent 1 hour marination period. Serve with roasted potatoes, sautéed spinach or rubber tires. It's all good.

Not a fan. The mustard sauce was overpowering and the chicken was dry.

The chicken came out a bit dry, but the mustard sauce was delicious. I'll try it again and cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This mustard roasted chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and the mustard sauce was the perfect complement. It was easy to make and didn't take long to cook.
