Arranged on a large greased oven proof baking dish, skin side down.

mix together well and brush over the raw chicken:
6tbsp melted butter
4tbsp prepared  mustard ( English ( hot); German(sweet-sour); Bavarian (sweet); Dijon ( clean-mild spice); America ( mild-sweet) wasabi (very spicy)
juice of 1 lemon
zest of same lemon ( zest first then juice)
1tbsp dark brown sugar
1tbsp smoked paprika or sweet



Bake for *15-20 mins skin side down
remove from oven and turn over the pieces and brush with the mustard mix
 & 3 tbsp poppy seeds ( optional)
