CHICKEN DIJON MUSTARD MARINADE RECIPES

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds), squeeze out the air, seal tightly and massage gently to coat the chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
• To cook: Transfer the chicken from the bag to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Roast in a 425-degree F oven for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• 1. If barbecuing, light the grill now so the flames have died down and it’s ready when you’re ready to cook.
  2. Finely grate the orange zest into a shallow bowl. Crumble in the dried chilli. Add the paprika, mustard, honey, ketchup and a splash of olive oil.
  3. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Spoon out a few tablespoons of the marinade and set it aside.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the remaining marinade. Turn them over in the marinade so they’re well coated, cover with clingfilm and leave to sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until the grill is ready.
  5. If using a griddle pan, put it over high heat now to get it screaming hot.
  6. Use tongs to transfer your chicken breasts onto the grill or griddle pan. For chicken breasts approximately 2cm thick, cook for about 5 minutes on each side, turning every minute and basting as you go, or until golden and cooked through.
  7. Spoon a little of the reserved sauce over each breast.
