Baked Honey Mustard Chicken
Baked Honey Mustard Chicken
"Baked Honey Mustard Chicken is one of the easiest dinners you can make and one of my favorites. All it takes is a well seasoned bird, a hot oven, and about two hours of time for a lovely meal. Make it with your favorite vinaigrette or seasoning blend. Or change this recipe by season based on what’s in season or to suit your family’s taste. We are using Montreal Chicken Seasoning in this version of the recipe."
