Chicken roasted with a layer of mustard, was incredibly moist and delicious, the flavors of thyme, garlic and lemon permeating the meat. And the fix — substituting fresh breadcrumbs for the panko and roasting at a slightly higher temperature for the entire time — made all the difference.

Author's Notes

If you feel like getting ahead, you can marinate the chicken in the mustard and buttermilk overnight or for a few hours; if you don’t have time, don’t worry. If you marinate the chicken, too, the buttermilk definitely acts as a tenderizer. You can use any combination of bone-in, skin-on thighs or drumsticks. I love using thighs with this recipe.
