Coating the chicken with the honey mustard mixture
Coating the chicken with the honey mustard mixture is a crucial step in preparing this delicious dish. The combination of sweet honey and tangy mustard creates a flavorful coating that helps to keep the chicken moist and tender during baking. To coat the chicken, you will need to mix honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Make sure to evenly coat each piece of chicken with the mixture, ensuring that all sides are covered. This not only adds flavor to the chicken but also helps to create a crispy and caramelized exterior once baked. The honey mustard mixture also acts as a marinade, allowing the flavors to penetrate the chicken and infuse it with delicious taste. Overall, coating the chicken with the honey mustard mixture is a simple yet essential step that takes this baked chicken dish to the next level.
Baking the chicken until golden brown
Once the honey mustard mixture is evenly spread over the chicken pieces, it’s time to bake them until they reach a delicious golden brown color. This process usually takes about 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven set to 375°F (190°C). Baking the chicken at this temperature ensures that it cooks through evenly while also developing a crispy and flavorful outer layer.
As the chicken bakes, the honey mustard marinade caramelizes, creating a mouthwatering glaze that adds a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors to the dish. To check if the chicken is fully cooked, you can use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once the chicken pieces have turned a golden brown hue and the juices run clear, they are ready to be served hot and enjoyed by all who are lucky enough to taste this delectable honey mustard baked chicken.
