Chicken in honey-mustard sauce is very fragrant and incredibly tender, it just melts in your mouth. And if too sweet meat is not to your liking, you can add a little less honey. However, it is not necessary to completely exclude honey, since it is he who gives the chicken pieces a ruddy appetizing crust. In addition to honey and mustard, soy sauce and chicken spices can also be used. If there are no such spices at hand, a mixture of ground peppers, ground coriander, fenugreek, dried adjika will help out.
