Spicy Deviled Chicken

Spicy Deviled Chicken is so easy and tasty. It's simple enough to prepare on a weeknight, but special enough to serve to company. It makes me smile because it's so quick to put together and there's very little clean-up afterward. My family smiles just because it tastes so good.

SERVINGS 4
COOK TIME 40 min
PREP TIME 10 min

Ingredients:

3 tbsp FRENCH'S® Horseradish Mustard

2/3 cup FRENCH'S® French Fried Onions

8 bone-in chicken thighs

2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling

0 Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 tsp dried tarragon

1/4 tsp hot sauce, or to taste

1/3 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions:

Preheat broiler and brush chicken pieces with half the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in a broiler-safe baking dish and broil 15 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan drippings. Turn and broil another 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 400° Remove chicken from broiler and drain any remaining fat from the pan. Beat together remaining oil, mustard, tarragon, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Mix together finely crushed fried onions and panko crumbs in another small bowl. Brush mustard mixture over skin-side of chicken and pat on a thick coating of the crumb mixture. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and return to top third of the oven for 10 minutes.
Chicken skin may be removed, if desired.
