Note: If you are looking for the older honey mustard chicken recipe from Paleo cuisine Juli Bauer and George Bryant cookbook, you can find it here. This version you are reading now is my fresh interpretation: Simpler, faster and so dangerous!
Two secret ingredients!
Here is the scoop: I added a couple of secret ingredients (but totally not detectable) – Mayonese and Coconut Aminos – which will seriously go up to the level of your chicken game.
Mayo is not just for sandwiches; Help the chicken in the navy magnificently, the marinade clings to each juicy bite and adds the right touch of fat. In these days, I add a spoonful of mayonnaise every time I share the raw chicken, as highlighted in my popular pesto chicken recipe.
Coconut aminos brings that magical umami element and I promise that you will not have a coconut taste, only a deeper and richer flavor. Trust the trial, people!
Ingredients
- Baded and leather -free chicken legs: I love using boned and leather -free chicken thighs for this recipe because they are tasty, forgiving and quick cooking. Yes, you can also use leather without leather chicken breasts (in particular, cutlets) or leather chicken legs, and I have specific instructions below.
- Digione Senpe: I prefer to use full mustard but the normal fasting mustard works as well.
- Honey: Please don’t ask for a honey substitute because this is a Honey Senape chicken recipe. If you are looking for a Whole30 Chicken recipe, try my orange chicken recipe.
- Maseo Paleo: Don’t skip this ingredient! It will help keep the chicken juicy and help the marinade attach to chicken!
- Aminos Coconut: It really adds a push of flavor, then don’t leave it out! When I prepared the chicken without coconut aminos, it still has a flavor ok, but the small spoonful of coconut aminos makes a big difference!
- Kosher salt in diamond crystal
- Just ground black pepper
- Spray avocado oil or avocado oil: Use a small amount to gain weight the pan

How to replace the chicken breast
Do you prefer boned and leather without chicken breasts? No problem! Just use the thinner chicken breast cutlets and beat them until all the pieces have the same thickness. In addition, reduce cooking times about 10 minutes or until the thicker part of the chicken is cooked up to 150 ° F. Transfer the cutlets to a plate, freely cover with a sheet and rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Do not be attempted to use chicken breasts without boned and skinless because they cook in a non -uniform way!
If you are not buying pre-taglio cutlets in the shop, I have instructions on how the chicken breasts cut into thin cutlets at home in my pesto chicken recipe.
Using chicken thighs in leather bones
Cooking chicken thighs in leather bone? It increases the amount of 3½ pound and marinated chicken for at least an hour or up to a day in advance. Place the side of the chicken skin in the pan and cook for 30 minutes. Then, turn the side of the skin of the chicken, brush a little marinated from the pan and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 175 ° F and the skin becomes golden brown.
Can I do it in advance?
Absolutely! Marinate the chicken and keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day. The flavors will deepen magnificently and the preparation of the dinner will be even faster.
