Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Rinse and pat dry the chicken to ensure the marinade sticks well. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  • In a bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined. This will be your marinade.
  • Generously coat the chicken with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Place the marinated chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Once marinated, remove the chicken from the fridge and discard any excess marinade. Brush the remaining honey Dijon mixture onto both sides of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
  • For best results, consider adjusting the level of Dijon mustard to suit your taste, especially if cooking for kids.
  • You can also experiment with different herbs, spices, or even a splash of citrus to create unique flavor profiles.
  • If you notice the chicken browning too quickly, cover it with foil to avoid overcooking.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick meal later.
  • Enjoy your delicious Baked Honey Dijon Chicken!
