Sweet-and-tangy honey mustard for dinner — chipotle drumsticks, air fryer salmon, pork chops, roasted carrots, and a chicken sandwich for busy weeknights.
★ dinner
In the famous words of DJ Jazzy Jeff “Drums Please!” These Chipotle Honey Mustard Drumsticks will have you munching to the beat after one bite. They’re mouthwateringly good, and with the Dan-O’s Chipotle giving them a nice smoky subtle heat pairs wonderfully with the rich honey and mustard coating.

Open in Pepper →Honey and mustard are two things most of us already have, and together they turn plain chicken or a pan of carrots into something the family actually asks about. It browns nicely, it clings to whatever you brush it on, and it works as a sauce, a marinade, or a dip.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on nights when there's chicken thawed and no plan, or when a potluck dish is due in the morning and it needs to travel well.
Every recipe here leans on that sweet-tangy mix, from Chipotle Honey Mustard Drumsticks and Honey Mustard Airfryer Salmon to Honey Mustard Pork Chops, Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots, Honey Mustard Crispy Smashed Potato Salad, and a jar of Homemade Honey Mustard to keep in the fridge.
Save some sauce back
Set aside about 1/4 cup of the honey mustard before it touches raw meat, then spoon that over at the table.
Glaze in the last minutes
Honey scorches fast, so brush the glaze on during the final 10 minutes of roasting or the last 3 minutes in the air fryer.
Pat the meat dry
Blot chicken thighs or pork chops with paper towels before saucing so they brown instead of steam.
Balance with vinegar
If the sauce tastes flat, stir in 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to cut the sweetness.
