[Music] two of my next favorite good ingredients are mustard dijon mustard and whole grain mustard and i use them both in my crispy chicken thighs with mustard sauce it's really good i'll show you how to make it so i have eight chicken thighs and i'm just gonna pat them dry you know if they're not dry they won't sear properly i'm gonna season really well with salt and pepper lots of salt i'm gonna cook this in a cast iron pan which sears them really well some pepper and then i'm going to turn them over and do the same thing again so they're really dry on both sides let them nice and browned chicken thighs are really great cut to use they're less expensive for starters and they actually stay really moist when you sear them so a little salt a little pepper that's good okay now i've got a really big cast iron pan like 12 to 14 inches it's really hot and i'm gonna put a few tablespoons of olive oil in just to sear the chicken okay skin side down put them all in and this is the key they're going to cook for 15 minutes and don't touch them don't move them and then it'll get a really nice sear on the skin and then i'm going to flip them over that's eight boneless chicken thighs okay 15 minutes and don't touch them so the chicken thighs are half done they haven't moved at all i'm going to turn them over and cook them for 15 minutes on the other side oh look how gorgeous and brown and golden these are that's why i call it crispy mustard chicken okay that's eight chicken thighs turned over i have two cups of yellow onions that i sliced just put them in a round all going to cook together all those flavors blend together make sure they're not sitting on top of the chicken but they're actually in the pan these are going to cook for 15 minutes onions are going to be sweet and golden and i'm going to make a sauce chicken and the onions are cooked i wish you could smell them it's incredible i'm going to take the chicken out of the pan and then make the sauce aren't they gorgeous and golden brown and the onions smell it's just fabulous nice and browned and they're really moist okay so i'm gonna put a splash of white wine you know i always say use white wine that you would drink it's only about two tablespoons and the rest you can drink for dinner i'm using pinot grigio so just stir it around the wine is going to glaze the pan and get all those brown pan juices up and onions okay i'm going to add eight ounces of crumb fresh because of course creme fraiche makes it taste better crumb fresh has a thickness and kind of a tanginess that's really great in this sauce and now the mustard so i need a tablespoon of dijon mustard just like that a teaspoon of whole grain mustard and i use whole grain mustard just because it gives it more flavor but also then it looks like mustard which is great then i'm going to put in about a tablespoon of parsley and give that whole thing a big stir this really is the easiest sauce ever okay now i'm just gonna put the chicken back in and just slide it in there any pan juices left in the plate put them all in because you don't lose any good flavor just like that wow a little parsley on top and that's it crispy chicken thighs with mustard sauce and it's the mustard that makes the difference you
