Tips, Tricks & Storing

For the best flavor, marinate your chicken for at least 2 hours. If you’re short on time, 30 minutes will do.

Use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken is done. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Want crispy skin? Pat the chicken dry before cooking and start with a hot pan.

To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely. Put it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can freeze cooked honey mustard chicken too. Wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

To reheat, use the oven or microwave. The oven will keep the chicken more moist. Heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.

Try these tasty sides with your chicken:

• Roasted vegetables
• Rice pilaf
• Green salad
• Mashed potatoes

For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayo in your honey mustard sauce.
