This easy recipe for deviled chicken adds a little sass to your chicken dinner with the help of some mustard and shallots!
We are heading towards Halloween, my friends, so this seemed like as good a time as any to remind you about the easy, super speedy deliciousness that is Deviled Chicken.
Deviled chicken is basically chicken that has been covered in a spicy coating (in my recipe, that means grainy mustard, some chopped shallots and a little bit of cumin), which takes regular baked chicken from nice to just the right amount of sassy.
The combo of the mustard and the shallots and the spices give the chicken just the right amount of sneaky heat…but not so much that it will scare off a spice wimp like me!
And! It’s ready in about 20 minutes!
So while we all know that the kiddos are going to pretty much have Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and candy corn for Halloween supper, if the older folks want something, well, devilish for supper, this is ready in a flash.
I think it’s also time for me to show you my favorite pumpkin picture, which I took a million years ago in my New Jersey back yard.
Isn’t it the sweetest, with its curly-cue stem? So back at the recipe…
Here’s how you make deviled chicken!
Preheat your oven to 425 and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Brush a little olive oil on the foil so you don’t get any sticking going on.
Mix up some mustard, some peeled and chopped shallot and a little cumin. I like grainy mustard because of the consistency and the relatively mild taste, but you can use any kind you like!
Slather it on both sides of the chicken with your mustard mixture and pop them on the pan.
Roast for 15 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 165.
Slice the chicken into thick pieces and serve it up – I happened to have some pea shoots that made a pretty garnish, but you could also use chopped parsley – or nothing at all!
Happy countdown to Halloween, all!

This is something new to try. I have never used grainy mustard in cooking. I am sure it would give nice sharp flavor to chicken
I love grainy mustard because it is spicy but not TOO spicy – it’s just right! Hope you like it. :)
