INDECISION CHICKEN (SMALL VICTORIES)

This was another recipe that was so easy and so delicious that it went into my regular rotation after I first tried it. Quite often, I would marinade and freeze the chicken for quick eats later.

Been a while since I made it, so it was a happy rediscovery last week.

Recipe is very simple – garlic, mustard, lemon juice & zest, honey, olive oil, s&p, minced herbs of choice (I use whatever’s at hand, and sometimes just crumble in dried herbs if I don’t have fresh, or add a bit of chimichurri or zhoug if I have some around).

I like it best with legs or thighs (this time), and most often pan-roast or bake the chicken, though it’s lovely on the grill too.

Forgot to take a pic, but accompanied by buttermilk-scallion mashed potato and a fennel-orange salad.
