Here are some tips when making the baked mustard chicken:
- Use your favorite Italian bread crumbs to make it easier. We’ve included a homemade bread crumb recipe here, but if you don’t have the time to make bread crumbs, just buy them pre-made.
- Use a really yummy Dijon mustard. We use Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7. This has been our favorite Dijon mustard for as long as I can remember. We use it in all sorts of recipes and on sandwiches.
- Bake the chicken in a Pyrex dish. Some of our chicken recipes call for baking the chicken on a wire rack. This recipe is different. Bake it right on the dish so it can retain all those lovely juices!
- Turn the chicken halfway through. By turning the chicken, you can get a nice even golden browning all the way around.
- Serve the chicken with more Dijon mustard or some Ranch Dressing. This chicken recipe goes well with pasta dishes and as a stand alone dinner. Serve baked mustard chicken drumsticks at your next party as an easy grab party food!

- Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Prepare bread crumbs by first toasting the bread at 250 degrees for 30 minutes. Once the bread is dried out, place it in a food processor to break into bread crumbs.
- Increase the temperature of the oven to 400 degrees F. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and Herbs de Provence to the food processor until combined. Place the breadcrumbs into a bowl. Prepare a Pyrex dish by coating the bottom with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- In a separate bowl, add the Dijon mustard. Clean the chicken. Dip each piece of chicken into the Dijon mustard first and then roll the piece in the breadcrumbs until coated. Place each piece of chicken in the Pyrex dish.
- Bake the chicken at 400 for 20-25 minutes. Turn the chicken about halfway thru, adding a little more olive oil if needed. Cook the chicken until juice of chicken is clear when cut in the center or 170 degrees. Enjoy!
