If using chicken breasts, you can either leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces for faster cooking. If using chicken thighs, they can be left whole.

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of walnut oil, 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

Pour the walnut oil and honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring that it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate. You can also marinate the chicken for longer for more flavor.

If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat it over medium-high heat. You can also use a grill pan for stovetop cooking.

If using a grill, place the marinated chicken on the grill grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

If using a skillet, add a bit of walnut oil to prevent sticking. Cook the chicken pieces for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.

In the last couple of minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with more of the walnut oil and honey mixture. This will create a delicious glaze. Be sure not to brush too early to avoid burning the glaze.

Once the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice glaze, remove it from the grill or skillet.

Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for extra flavor and presentation.

Serve the Walnut Oil and Honey Glazed Chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or rice.

This dish is sweet, savory, and has a delightful nutty undertone from the walnut oil. It’s a perfect combination of flavors that will impress your taste buds.
