Author Notes
This is not a precise recipe- think of it more of a list of suggestions and ratios. Want to add more mustard? Go for it. Don't have corn-flake crumbs? Fine- use panko or plain old bread crumbs. Don't have time to marinate the chicken overnight? Also, fine. This chicken will be great if you leave it let it sit for an hour, or even just 20 minutes. It's all good and delicious. —Hungry Souls

Ingredients
-
1
chicken, cut into 8 pieces
-
1/3 cup
tehina paste
-
1/4 cup
mustard (Dijon is preferable)
-
1/2 teaspoon
dried marjoram or oregano
-
a good pinches
coarse salt
-
freshly ground black pepper
-
corn-flake crumbs, Panko, toasted bread crumb, or other breading
Directions
-
1. The day before you bake the chicken, mix together the tehina, mustard, marjoram salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge overnight. (If you don't have time, just coat the chicken with the mustard-tehina mixture and leave it for as long as you can).
-
2. Take the chicken out of the fridge and bring to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Pour some corn flake crumbs (or your preferred breading) on a large plate and coat the pieces of chicken entirely, pressing down to make sure the coating sticks. Place in a baking pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken thigh reads 165 F. (you know the drill).
