Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with fry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place seasoned chicken on prepared sheet at least three inches apart. Roast on top rack until golden brown and cooked through, 20-25 minutes. (TIP: if using an air fryer, preheat to 400 degrees. Season chicken as instructed, then coat with nonstick cooking spray; air-fry until browned and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.) Top chicken with smoky mustard and serve (or stash separately and top chicken with smoky mustard just before serving!).

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The smoky mustard chicken was tasty and well-seasoned; some didn't enjoy the mustard and preferred the chicken with other sauces or seasonings.
- Ease of prep: With just a few ingredients and a simple oven method, this is one of the quickest proteins to prepare — boneless thighs make it even easier.
- Suggestions: Slice the cooked chicken and toss it into a wok with brown rice and scallions, or serve over a Caesar salad for a more complete meal.
