Note

For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the mustard mixture.

You can use fresh peaches if in season; simply slice and simmer them with a little water to create the liquid base.

This dish pairs excellently with steamed rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious glaze.

If using bone-in chicken, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165&# 194;°F (74ðC) before removing from heat.
