Honey & Mustard Chicken with Apple-Potato Salad & Warm Fennel

I shared a recipe from Marley Spoon earlier today for Anglo-Indian Pork Burgers with Roasted Carrots & Raita. In that post I wrote about the recipe box we received from Marley Spoon, so do pop over there to check that out. I promised I would share the second recipe that we cooked from the box, so here is the Honey & Mustard Chicken with Apple-Potato Salad.

Now, the original recipe called for two ingredients that I really do not like – celery, and fennel. So I left them both out of the finished dish. However, I have included them in this recipe, should you wish to include them.

This is a great summer barbecue recipe – but if you don’t want to fire up the coals, the chicken can be cooked in the oven. Or you could part cook the chicken in the oven, and finish off on the BBQ. Do what works best for you – but always make sure that the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

My husband and I prepared this meal together, as we did with the other one, and it was fun to work in the kitchen together. I took care of the salad prep – although, our salad was just potato, apple, and parsley – and making of the honey-mustard marinade (always good combo!). He prepped and cooked the chicken (and he did the washing up too!)

I love potato salad, especially when it is a warm potato salad, and the addition of the apples, gave it a nice sweet crunch. Using fresh parsley in salads is a favourite thing of mine to do as well, so I would be inclined to bung another handful of that it! Since I don’t like celery, I didn’t miss it not being in the salad, and we still got the satisfying crunch from the Granny Smith apple.

The honey-mustard on the chicken drumsticks was very tasty – a barbecue winner in my opinion! This would also work great on chicken thighs, and I think on chicken breast kebabs too.

Some of the prep photographs are below, with the recipe to print out underneath that.
