Yellow mustard is the secret ingredient in this Cherry Glazed Chicken recipe.

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 (16 ounce) can unsweetened tart cherries
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

Instructions

1. Rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Pour milk into a shallow container.
2. Combine flour, thyme, salt and pepper. Dip chicken first in milk, then in flour mixture; coat evenly.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken; brown on all sides. Put chicken in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Bake, covered with aluminum foil, in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, drain cherries, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine cherry juice, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a small saucepan; mix well. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Add mustard; mix well. Cook 5 minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in cherries.
5. After chicken has cooked for 30 minutes, remove from oven and uncover. Spoon hot cherry mixture over chicken.
6. Bake, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
7. Serve immediately.
