Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the mustard and honey in a small bowl. Stir in the dill and orange peel. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the chicken pieces, skin side down, onto the foil. Brush the honey-mustard sauce on top of the chicken and coat the pieces well. Turn the chicken over and gently pull back the skin. Brush the meat with the honey-mustard sauce. Gently pull the skin back over the sauce. Brush the skin with the remaining sauce. Bake the chicken until the juices run clear when the thickest portion of the meat is pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

*You can make the honey-mustard sauce ahead of time as directed and keep it refrigerated until you are ready to use it. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.*
