How to make Double the mustard chicken with potatoes and greens

1. Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 190°C (fan) or 200°C (conventional).

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, 30 ml honey, and 15 ml oil until well combined.

3. Season the chicken on all sides with 5 g salt and 2 g pepper.

4. Transfer the chicken to the bowl with the honey mustard mixture and toss to coat thoroughly.

5. On a rimmed baking tray, toss the potatoes with 30 ml oil, 5 g salt, and the remaining 2 g pepper.

6. Arrange the chicken legs, skin side up, in the centre of the tray, discarding any excess marinade.

7. Position the potatoes around the chicken in an even layer, ensuring the cut sides are facing down to encourage browning.

8. Scatter the rosemary over the potatoes.

9. Roast in the oven for 30–40 minutes, until the chicken and potatoes are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 75°C.

10. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, whole grain mustard, remaining 80 ml oil, 10 g honey, and 2.5 g salt.

11. Divide the chicken and potatoes among plates and arrange the frisée and parsley alongside the potatoes.

12. Drizzle the dressing over the chicken, potatoes, and frisée before serving.

Do Ahead: The chicken can be marinated up to 8 hours in advance. Cover and chill until ready to use.
