- 1 jointed chicken (or equivalent portions)
- 4 tbl mild mustard (Dijon is best)

- black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Preparation:
- Season the chicken portions and place, skin side down, on a large baking sheet.
- Whisk the other ingredients together, and brush half the mixture over the chicken pieces.
- Bake in centre of the oven at 200° C for 15 to 18 minutes.
- Carefully turn the portions over, and coat the skin side of the chicken with the remaining mixture. Sprinkle over the poppy seeds.
- Bake for a further 15 to 18 minutes.
