Instructions
- First and foremost, wash your chicken wings or thighs, part dry; in a bowl mix the mustard, honey, pepper, and salt together.
- Secondly, pour in the sauce mixture into the chicken and mix properly with the chicken; you can adjust the mustard quantity to your taste, allow chicken marinade for the next 1-2 hours in the fridge.
- Thirdly, because I wanted a fast option, I fried it, in any case, you can always stick to oven bake to finish at 180C.
- Finally, when pan-frying it on low medium heat, stir continuously to avoid burnt chicken, since I want to retain that honey and mustard taste on it.
- Lastly, I still have to finish it up by adding more spoons of honey and mustard sauce as I finally bake for 20 minutes as you toss front and back to achieve that gloss nice look.
- Delicious well-baked honey chicken is ready.
