Battered Chicken Tapas With Honey and Mustard ( Pollo Rebozado)

Submitted by An American in Spain

"A real favorite here in Spain. Looks great, smells great and most of all tastes great! The chicken can be prepared ahead of time and then crisped up in the oven before adding the sauce. The honey mustard sauce should be made an hour or so in advance to blend flavors. This recipe was adapted from "the tapas cookbook"."

Great recipe. Increased the dijon by half a tablespoon after taste testing the sauce. Will be making this recipe again and again. Thanks for the keeper.

Excellent! I made this along with many other other tapas and this one was by far the best! I did add a bit of cayenne, garlic and onion powder to the batter though. :D ¡Muchas gracias por la receta! Ciao, Bella

We loved this!! I added s&p to the batter. I also added extra dijon to the sauce. It did take a bit of time to fry all those little pieces but it was worth it! Made for Spain & Portugal's February Tag - Honey.

Simple and tasty. Part of a delicious tapas dinner I made tonight. The one change I'd make would be to add more mustard to the sauce. It didn't have enough dijon flavor.
