Grilled chicken honey mustard sauce

Chicken wings marinated in sauce are grilled in the oven, then fried in a frying pan and coated with sauce.

The richness overflows from the fragrantly grilled bone-in meat. The sour and sweet sauce envelops the meat. This dish is sure to enchant you.

This sauce is a mixture of grain mustard and honey.

This sauce has the gentle sweetness of honey, the aroma, spiciness, and sourness of mustard.

I make a large amount of the sauce. It is better to eat it with bread or mashed potatoes.

I usually make it by cutting chicken thighs, but this time I used chicken wings. Bone-in meat has a strong flavor, and since it’s been grilled in the oven, it also has an added aroma.

Honey mustard is not spicy, so it is easy for children to eat. But,　Children under 1 year old should not eat this as it contains honey.

Types of mustard

Mustard and Japanese mustard (Karashi) both use “Brassica juncea seeds,” which belong to the Brassicaceae family, but the types of Brassica juncea used are different.

Mustard has a mild flavor that is not too spicy. On the other hand, karashi is characterized by a strong spiciness that is pungent and hits your nose.

Mustard is made by adding vinegar and sugar to mustard seeds. Grain mustard is unique in that it is made from brown seeds without crushing them. The texture of the outer skin is an accent. There is almost no spiciness and you can enjoy a refreshing taste.

Karashi is Japanese mustard. The only raw material for Karashi is seeds. It is made by processing the seeds into powder and then mixing it with water.

American mustard is characterized by its bright yellow color due to the addition of turmeric. Often used on hot dogs and frankfurter.

In Japan, mustard usually refers to American mustard. Especially famous is Heinz mustard.

Dijon mustard is a type of mustard that originated in France and is characterized by its use of grape juice called verjuice. Compared to other mustards, it has a sour taste and a fruity aroma.

Because the outer skin is removed during the manufacturing process, it is characterized by its smooth texture and beautiful white-yellow color.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
