Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs

I love a quick and easy one tray leave-it-all-to-cook chicken dish. It is the ultimate easy to prepare, but delicious supper, with innumerable variations. In this version I’ve smothered tender chicken thighs with a mixture of honey mustard, soy sauce and olive oil, put them into a roasting dish containing sliced onions and garlic, thrown in some lemon and left to cook.

Chicken thighs are frugal, full of flavour and remain moist after roasting; unlike chicken breasts which can dry out, which makes them my first choice for a dish like this.

As the chicken cooks the marinade forms a delicious coating, and all the juices mix and thicken to make a rich gravy. Serve with rice, cous-cous, mashed potato, or a hunk of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices. You can dress this dish up or down – bake in a pretty china dish for a dinner party, or an everyday one for a weekday supper. Leftovers freeze well and can be reheated in either the microwave or the oven.

The star of the show is the Heinz New York deli style mustard with honey, it is sweet and mild, with a small, but not potent kick. It would also be delicious with a hot dog, pastrami sandwich and is perfect with any BBQed food. I’ve been adding it to dressings – both vinaigrette (where it helps emulsify) and mayonnaise based.
