Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Baked honey mustard chicken. Don’t know why but kids love honey mustard flavored anything. I’ve been using Grey Poupon brand forever but I grabbed T. Joe’s while I was there but oh boy T. Joe’s brand mustards are very rich, pungent and spicy. It’s little too spicy for my kids though I’ve been adjusting a few times with different dishes. For kids I need more milder mustards. Still kids ate it all saying they can handle it with no problem.
