Chicken in Honey Mustard Beer Sauce
I have several chicken and beer dishes pinned and bookmarked on my computer. I decided it was time to finally try one. I decided on this version because I love honey mustard.
This dish reminded us of another dish we love, Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs. It was very flavorful and super simple to prepare. Just season and sear the chicken, pour the sauce over the chicken and bake. The flavor will change depending on the beer you use in the dish. I used Chicken Legs' favorite beer, Shocktop. Blue Moon would be really good in here too. I think the slight citrus flavor in the beer goes well with the honey mustard.
