Warning! This chicken is EXTREMELY moist! I didn't even marinate before baking, just added the ingredients and put it straight into the oven. The sauce (or glaze), which is made up of mustard (we used a combo of yellow and spicy brown), OJ, and onion (we used dried) creates a wonderful and very flavorful sauce that during dinner, we pondered having this over a bed of salad greens and the sauce as dressing... and that's exactly how we'll serve it next time. Perhaps add some dried cranberries in there too. :)Thanks Nasseh, for posting such a simple and versatile recipe that produces a VERY tender & VERY moist chicken! We love it!
