Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the center position.
- 2Season the chicken all over with 1¼ teaspoon of the salt.
- 3Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet or braiser over medium-high. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from heat.
- 4Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the whole grain mustard, Dijon, honey, ½ teaspoon of the remaining salt, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, garlic powder, and curry powder.
