Best Honey Mustard Meat Marinade Recipes

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds), squeeze out the air, seal tightly and massage gently to coat the chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
• To cook: Transfer the chicken from the bag to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Roast in a 425-degree F oven for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes more.

HONEY MUSTARD ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix mustard, honey, vinegar, Sriracha, paprika, pepper, and salt in a very large bowl until combined.
• Place chicken, breast-side down, on a work surface. Starting at the tailbone, cut along either side of the backbone with scissors or a knife, cutting as close to the bone as possible. Discard the backbone and trim any excess fat or skin from the chicken.
• Find the cartilage where the wishbone comes together and forms a "v" and make 1 shallow cut with a knife through the cartilage. Press down on either side to flatten the chicken and expose the breastbone, making another cut in the cartilage if necessary. Run your fingers along the breastbone until the rest of the cartilage pulls away. Make a few shallow cuts into the legs, thighs, and wings to ensure even cooking.
• Transfer chicken into the bowl of marinade and toss until well coated. Marinate, breast-side down, in the refrigerator, 4 to 12 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Transfer chicken, skin-side up, to the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt. Reserve marinade for basting.
• Cook in the center of the preheated oven until chicken starts to darken in spots, 35 to 40 minutes.
• While the chicken is roasting, transfer excess marinade into a small saucepan. Add chicken stock to thin the sauce a bit and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
• Baste chicken with sauce and continue to roast, basting again if desired, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the oven and brush any rendered fat and accumulated juices from the pan onto the chicken.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter and garnish with green onions. Slice and serve, spooning any remaining sauce over top.

HONEY MUSTARD MARINADE FOR STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine soy, oil, honey, mustard, tarragon, garlic, and pepper in medium bowl. Remove 1/4 cup marinade and combine with vinegar in small bowl; set aside.
• Place remaining marinade and steaks in gallon-size zipper-lock bag; press out as much air as possible and seal bag. Refrigerate 1 hour, flipping bag after 30 minutes to ensure that steaks marinate evenly.
• Remove steaks from marinade, letting any excess marinade drip back into bag. Discard bag and marinade. Grill steaks as desired.
• Transfer steaks to shallow pan and pour reserved marinade over top. Tent loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes, turning meat halfway through. Slice steak or serve whole, passing reserved marinade if desired.

HONEY MUSTARD MARINATED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• With your hands, thoroughly combine the ingredients by squishing and tossing the pork loin within the bag.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for two hours (or up to 12 hours), squishing and turning the bag occasionally.
• Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and pour the marinade ingredients over the meat.
• Roast in a 350 F oven for one hour or until juices run clear or meat thermometer reaches 170°F.
• While roasting, occasionally baste the meat with the marinade liquid.
• Slice, serve and enjoy!
