Scrape out any mustard remaining in the bowl and spread it evenly over the chicken. Season lightly with pepper and pour the wine around the chicken. 4. Bake in center of oven, basting occasionally for 30 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is done. 5. Scrape the mustard off the chicken and back into the baking dish. Transfer chicken pieces to a serving platter, cover and keep warm. 6. Skim as much fat as possible from the cooking juices and set the baking dish over medium heat.

Spoon sauce over chicken and serve. |
