Mustard Baked Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 lb. fryer chicken pieces
1/2 c. maple syrup or maple syrup with honey
1/4 c. mustard (prepared)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. melted margarine

Preparation

Mix maple syrup, mustard, lemon juice and salt together.
Spoon over skinned chicken pieces.
Let stand at least 24 hours or overnight in sealed container.
Melt margarine and place in bottom of 9 x 13-inch pan.
I use a glass pan.
Pour over sauce.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 30 minutes, then turn oven up to 400\u00b0 for another 20 to 30 minutes.
Every 15 minutes, baste chicken with sauce.
I serve the sauce to dip chicken in while eating.
Depending on chicken pieces, I even stretch sauce to cover 4 pieces of chicken.
Also, when using plain maple syrup, I add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey.
Serve with rice pilaf.
