Categories     Chicken     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup bread crumbs
2 chicken breasts
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 tablespoon butter, diced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, garlic, thyme, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place bread crumbs in another large bowl.
  • Working in batches, coat chicken quarters on all sides with mustard mixture. Shake off excess mustard, then coat completely with bread crumbs. Arrange in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan.
  • Dust the chicken with paprika and scatter butter pieces on top. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and crispy, about 30min. (Depending on the oven, the size of the pan and the size of the chickens, baking time may be as long as 2 1/2 hours.) Serve hot or at room temperature.
