Only Maille in my house. REC: Mustard Tarragon Chicken
Whoops, where did it go?
Been making it for years and last week made it with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. H thought it was something entirely new, as he loves the dark meat. He just loved it and had 2 extra helpings.
Now I have to find the recipe.
Okay here it is. Now I add more mustard, and I add more tarragon and use only fresh, cuz it's good that way. And I do think it works better with the drumettes, or whatever they're called. I just tossed them in seasoned flour and into the saute pan for a couple of minutes per side. Then baking was only about 15 min.
