    This probably sounds like a ridiculous question, but the 1/2 cup of any whole grain mustard...is that referring to like liquid mustard or a ground mustard powder?
  7. Six Sisters says:

    This is the best chicken marinade I have ever tried. Thanks for sharing, it's perfect!
  11. Christina says:
    Can you let it marinate for longer? Like overnight or for the day?
  12. Cyd says:
    Yes, it will add more flavor! :)
  13. Diane says:
    First word out of hubby's mouth were "MMMmmm so good!" And I have to agree. I left out the red pepper flakes using only the cayenne to tone down the heat, but it still had a delightful kick to it. For those who like "hot", definitely use both. Grilling it made it so easy too.
  14. kathleen says:
    I love this! I forgot to reserve extra marinade, so while the chicken cooked in a grill pan I added all of the used marinade to another pan and gently simmered it. When the chicken was done I added a splash of half and half to the hot sauce and then poured over the chicken. It was so delish!!!!
  15. Susan says:
    Can I put this in the oven
  16. Cyd says:
    It should be fine to cook in the oven. We have only grilled this recipe, so you may need to make some temperature adjustments.
  17. Shel says:
    I only have anyone ground horseradish must.
  18. Shel says:
    I meant I only have stone ground horseradish must.
  19. Kim says:
    Can you use brown sugar instead of honey?
