Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Coat Chicken with Honey: Place honey in a shallow bowl. Coat each piece of chicken with honey and set aside.
- Prepare Dry Mixture: In another shallow pie plate, combine biscuit mix, dry mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge Chicken: Dredge each honey-coated chicken piece in the dry mixture until evenly coated.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
- Arrange Chicken: Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
- Coat with Spray: Generously coat the chicken pieces with additional nonstick spray.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, or until juices run clear. Boneless chicken will cook faster, approximately 25-35 minutes.
- Check for Doneness: To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, check that the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
Recipe Notes:
- Top Rack Cooking: If you’re concerned about uneven browning, consider placing the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven. This helps prevent the bottom from getting too dark.
- Nugget Variation: This recipe also works great for making chicken nuggets! Simply cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces before coating and adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
Enjoy this delicious Honey Baked Mustard Chicken as a delightful meal for any occasion, whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a family gathering. The combination of sweet honey and tangy mustard creates a flavor-packed dish that’s sure to be a hit with everyone at the table!
