Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Yes, but thighs stay juicier. If using breasts, reduce cooking time slightly.
Do I need to parboil the potatoes?
No slicing them into wedges ensures they cook perfectly in the oven.
Can I prep this ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble everything in the tray, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes — freeze cooked portions for up to 2 months. Reheat thoroughly.
Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Absolutely — the honey mustard flavour is mild, sweet and family-friendly.
