Apple Mustard Marinade without apples? Yes, you read that right. For this marinade recipe I used apple cider vinegar and a good apple cider. You can’t marinade with apples. Using the apple cider will give you a more concentrated apple flavor. The vinegar adds an extra tang and helps with the tenderizing process.
Use Good Apple Cider

Whole Grain Mustard

With the delicious flavors of the apple cider and apple vinegar you also get the rough texture of coarse grain mustard and a wonderful deep flavor. I love the rustic look of the mustard.
SUBSTITUTE FOR COARSE MUSTARD: Dijon mustard is the best substitution for ground mustard because the flavor profile is similar. Use the ratio of 1 teaspoon ground mustard = 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Yellow Mustard or Brown Mustard: If you don’t have Dijon available, you can use yellow, brown, or even stone ground mustard. I DON’T RECOMMEND USING YELLOW MUSTARD—you can… but it won’t offer the same tangy flavor as the Dijon.
COARSE MUSTARD: Creole, Stone Ground, Whole Grain Dijon, Whole Grain Stout, Whole Grain Whisky
RUSTIC CHICKEN

Place cleaned and dried chicken in a bowl (make sure the bowl is small enough so the marinade covers the meat), pour marinade over the chicken, cover with plastic wrap, place in the refrigerator and marinade at least 4 hours. Remove from marinade and cook (bake or grill). The chicken tastes fantastic cold and is perfect for picnics!
LEFTOVER CHICKEN: Sprinkle the leftover chicken on top of a salad. Lots of flavor already baked in!

Do you know if you could can the sauce in a pressure canner or in a water bath?
Hi Trixie, Sorry I don’t.
My new favorite marinade! Would be a great salad dressing.
That’s wonderful to hear Lori! I’m so glad you like the recipe as much as I do! 🙂
