Ok guys. Not gonna lie. I am ob.sessed. with this chicken recipe! I mean, in general, I’m obsessed with all of my recipes, or I wouldn’t publish them. BUT there are recipes I love and know I’ll dream about until I make them again. And then there are recipes like this one, where I take one taste and just know I’ll be making it again soon. And then soon after that. And so on.

I mean, what’s not to love? It’s an easy recipe to make, it’s healthy, and its so versatile. No, for real. I made three dishes for the work of one (see variations below), so it really just doesn’t get easier than that. Plus, it involves a huge ton of garlic, so…. (does anyone not love garlic? I dunno if we can even be friends!) But it’s not just about the garlic. The sauce is packed with savory dijon and garlic, with a bit of a hint of sweetness from the maple syrup and an extra layer of flavor thanks to the dill. You’re probably going to want to double or triple the sauce, cuz you know you’re making a lot of it! Yeah, you can thank me later.

    Can I use chicken breast or cutlets instead of thighs? If yes, should I change the baking time/temp?

    I just slathered the garlic mustard on both sides of a spatchcocked chicken and will let it marinate until this afternoon to roast it. The sauce was so delicious that I was tempted to lick the spatula used to spread – I regret that it isn’t safe to do so.
    I think you are a genius. Every recipe of yours that I have made was sensational. You really have a gift.

    I always take the skin off of the chicken. Will this recipe work that way? Would the temperatures and time be different without the skin?

      recommend roasting it with the chicken and then removing it to keep the chicken from drying out.

      I have never tried it, so I would hesitate to say for sure.

      I don’t understand your question. The recipe calls for baking this in the oven…
