WHOLE ROASTED MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss onion, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, and 3 thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper; spread in a single layer. Season chicken cavity with salt and pepper, then stuff with lemons and remaining 6 thyme sprigs. Rub remaining 1 tablespoon oil over skin, brush with mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Tie legs with twine. Place on top of vegetables; roast 20 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a carving board; let stand 15 minutes. Meanwhile, return vegetables to oven. Continue roasting until tender and golden brown in places, 12 to 15 minutes more. Carve chicken and serve, with vegetables and lemon wedges alongside.

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450*F.
• Prepare the chicken by gently easing your fingertips between the skin and the meat at the neck opening, to loosen the skin all over the breast, taking care not to tear the skin.
• Insert the parsley sprig, basil or rosemary under the skin.
• Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof skillet large enough to hold the chicken over high heat.
• Add the olive oil and swirl it in the skillet.
• As soon as you begin to see slight wisps of smoke, carefully place the chicken skin side down in the skillet.
• Sear the chicken, undisturbed, while reducing the heat little by little to medium, until it's skin has turned golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Carefully turn the chicken skin side up.
• Put the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh meat is pierced with a thin skewer, 10 to 15 minutes more, depending on it's size.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet with tongs and transfer it to a cutting board.
• Pour off all but a thin glaze of fat from the skillet.
• Return the skillet to high heat, add the chicken stock and the lemon juice, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.
• Boil the liquid down until it has reduced by half it's volume, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn down the heat and add the mustard, stirring briskly with a wire whisk.
• Add the butter a piece at a time to make a creamy sauce, making sure each piece has been incorporated completely before adding the next.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in half of the parsley or basil.
• To serve, spoon the sauce into the centers of two to four heated plates.
• With a large sharp knife, cut the chicken into two halves or four equal pieces.
• Place the chicken on the plates, sprinkle with the remaining parsley or basil and serve.

DOUBLE-THE-MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND GREENS

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Whisk Dijon mustard, 2 Tbsp. honey, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl to combine. Season chicken on all sides with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Transfer to bowl with honey mustard and toss to coat.
• Toss potatoes, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange chicken legs (skin side up) in the center of pan; discard excess marinade. Arrange potatoes around outside of pan in an even layer, then turn cut side down (this will help them brown better). Arrange rosemary over potatoes. Roast until chicken and potatoes are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, 30-40 minutes.
• Whisk garlic, lemon juice, whole grain mustard, and remaining 1/3 cup oil, 2 tsp. honey, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Divide chicken and potatoes among plates, then arrange frisée and parsley alongside potatoes. Drizzle dressing over chicken, potatoes, and frisée.
• Do Ahead: Chicken can be marinated 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
