Grilled Chicken with Mustard and Red Pepper Recipe

Grilled Chicken with Mustard and Red Pepper Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons French Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon coarse-grain French Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon finely ground dried hot red pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 chicken legs, thighs attached
  • ½ cup fine homemade breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the mustards and red pepper; stir to blend.
  3. Place the eggs in a shallow platter, and whisk lightly with a fork to blend.
  4. Using a pastry brush, brush the mustard mixture all over the chicken legs and thighs. Dip them in the eggs, coating evenly on all sides. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, coating as evenly as possible. Place the chicken pieces side by side in a roasting pan. Dot with the butter. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, basting frequently. The chicken is done when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer the pieces to a wire rack to help firm up the coating, about 5 minutes.
  5. Serve hot or cold.
