Sweet and Tangy Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken: A Flavorful Twist on a Classic

Serving: Serve this sweet and tangy chicken with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple green salad. It pairs beautifully with a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh slaw.
Storage: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. For best results, store the glaze separately to keep it fresh.
Variants:

Spicy Kick: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or a small amount of hot sauce to the glaze for a spicy twist.
Herb-Infused: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or tarragon into the glaze for added depth of flavor.
BBQ Twist: Mix in a few tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce with the honey mustard glaze for a smoky, sweet flavor combination.
FAQ:

Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?
Yes! Bone-in chicken will work as well. Just adjust the cooking time as bone-in chicken takes longer to cook through—around 35-40 minutes in the oven at 375°F (190°C).

Can I make the glaze ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the glaze up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a quick stir before using.

Can I grill this chicken with the glaze?
Yes! Just be sure to brush the chicken with the glaze during the last few minutes of grilling to prevent the sugars from burning.

Can I use a different type of mustard?
Yes! While Dijon mustard is recommended for its tanginess, you can use yellow mustard for a milder flavor or spicy brown mustard for a more robust taste.
