Mustard Thyme Roasted Chicken

Dec 2, 2014 · 6 Comments

Mustard Herb Roasted Chicken - Comfy Belly

Mustard herb roasted chicken pieces make for tender meat, with a crispy outer edge.

I've always believed that mustard and chicken belong together. What other ingredients join the party depends on my mood and what I have on hand. Andย honey and mustard also belong together, but only sometimes with chicken.

Anyway, I don't want to complicate this too much for you. Every once in a while, I roast chicken, but I was in need of a change. This is my latest change-up.

And what's really nice is it tastes kind of like fried chicken thanks to the crunchy roasted exterior of the almond flour and herbs.

Mustard Thyme Roasted Chicken

If you're looking for a dairy-free replacement for the yogurt, Iย haven't tested it but I bet non-dairy yogurt would work. Mayonnaise is another good sub for the yogurt.
You can use the drummlettes (from chicken wings) for this recipe, or feel free to use any chicken parts you prefer.
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 535kcal

Ingredients

  • ยฝ cup plain yogurt
  • ยผ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 ยฝ pounds chicken pieces with skin on
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled

  • ยฝ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425ยบF (220ยบC, or gas mark 7).
  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick mat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard and yogurt.
  • Add the chicken to the yogurt mixture and blend to fully coat the chicken.
  • Finely chop the garlic and thyme in a food processor, or by hand, and then add the salt and almond flour and pulse a few times or blend well.
  • Place the almond flour mixture out on a plate and dip the skin side of each piece of chicken into it and then place the chicken piece skin side up on the baking sheet. Repeat for the rest of the chicken pieces.

    This looks so good and I am not even a big chicken fan! I know my husband and son would love it, too. Thanks!

      I'm not much of a meat eater, but I love the tenderness and crunch of this recipe.
