Mmm... sounds tasty. ^_^/

I guess it needs to be chicken thighs to have some flavour against the mustard and tarragon? What lightly-flavoured carbs do you recommend?

[liyang]

The wholegrain mustard is pretty mild stuff. I like tarragon: it has this natural sweetness that's oh-so-mouthwatering.

As long as you buy decent-quality locally-farmed free-range chicken - but not organic - it'll be tasty enough. Pretty sure you don't *need* it to be thighs, but I can see breasts coming out a bit too ‘dry’ if you will, and I'm rather fond of the crispened skin, so…

If you're on an Atkins, salad of some sort. Otherwise buttery, milky mash, maybe?

Free-range will make a lot of difference to the thighs... the further the chicken walks, the stronger the flavour :D

Crispy skin is good, yes. Atkins? Lol! The mash sounds good... shall have to make this as soon as I have a kitchen again.
