What to Serve with Honey Butter Chicken:
Adding side dishes with this baked chicken is a great idea to make this a complete meal. Bread, salad and a vegetable or fruit is always a great balance for dinner time. I love to serve this chicken recipe with a various of side dishes that are quick and easy to make while the chicken is baking for one hour.

Storing Baked Chicken:
Baked chicken is easy to make with the perfect blend of honey, butter and mustard. It is simple to bake and clean up is even easier. Let the chicken completely cool before adding it to the bag or airtight containers. This dinner will reheat easily and quickly when ready!
- Refrigerator: Add the left over chicken to a ziplock bag or airtight container and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days long.
- Freezer: Place the chicken in a ziplock bag releasing all the air. Laying the chicken flat, place the chicken on in the freezer for about a month long. When ready to reheat, move the chicken into the refrigerator over night and let it thaw completely before warming up.
- Warming Up: Bake it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or place in the microwave flipping it every minute until it is warmed through. Add a side salad or some potatoes and you have a delicious meal all over again!

Did you use mustard seed?
I used a mustard that had mustard seeds in it. I hope this helps!
Do you melt the butter?
Hi RJ, yes, melt the butter before mixing it with the other ingredients. Here is the link to the video. Make sure to click “STAY” when it pops up!
Non-cook here. Way do you baste with — the honey glaze or something else? Do you keep some glaze back for basting?
Hi Sharon, happy to help! You baste with the glaze that gathers in the bottom of the baking dish as it cooks. You’ll just take it out and scoop the glaze that is in the bottom of the pan and spread it over the chicken. I hope this helps!
