Mustard Chicken and Potatoes
Aperçu
Mustard chicken and potatoes is a single-tray bake, chicken and potatoes coated in a mustard-based marinade and roasted together until the skin crisps and the potatoes take on the fat. It belongs to the category of cooking that earns its place by being cheap and nearly unsupervised. Everything goes in one tin, nothing needs turning much, and it works with whatever chicken is to hand: thighs, drumsticks, wings, or a whole bird jointed. Mustard is doing two jobs. Its acidity tenderises the surface of the meat during the marinade, and its emulsifying quality helps the coating cling rather than sliding off into the tin. The sharpness also cuts through chicken fat in a way a plain herb rub does not. Carrots, onion and peppers are common additions and cook in the same time. **Filed as Worldwide.** This is a general roasting-tray recipe with no African claim, kept on the platform because the page already receives visitors and reclassified rather than removed.
