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?

Six Sisters says:

You're fine! It is liquid mustard. Thanks!

camilao says:

I did this last night. It was perfect!!! Husband looooved it! Thanks for the help!! I married three months ago and believe this type of blogs are SUCH a blessing!! :) Greetings from Argentina!

Unknown says:

made this yesterday! Wonderful thank you. Didn't have lemons so used limes. and made them into kebobs. Everyone loved it! Will be making it again!

gail says:

This is the best chicken marinade I have ever tried. Thanks for sharing, it's perfect!

Christina says:

Can you let it marinate for longer? Like overnight or for the day?

Cyd says:

Yes, it will add more flavor! :)

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.

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!!!!

Susan says:

Can I put this in the oven

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.

Shel says:

I only have anyone ground horseradish must.

Shel says:

I meant I only have stone ground horseradish must.

Kim says:

Can you use brown sugar instead of honey?
