Recipe FAQs

→ How do I ensure the chicken stays juicy?

Marinate the chicken thighs in the honey mustard mixture to retain moisture and enhance flavor. Baking skin-on thighs also helps keep the meat tender.

→ What potatoes work best for roasting?

Baby potatoes or small Yukon Golds are ideal as they roast evenly and become crisp while remaining fluffy inside.

→ Can I make this dish gluten-free?

Yes, this dish is naturally gluten-free when ensuring all ingredients, such as mustard and seasoning, do not contain gluten additives.

→ How do I get extra crispy roasted potatoes?

Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasonings thoroughly, spread them in a single layer, and put them in a hot oven. Flipping halfway also aids crisping.

→ What herbs complement the honey mustard flavor?

Dried thyme and rosemary add earthy notes that balance the tangy and sweet mustard glaze beautifully.
