2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Honey

Recipe Notes

Roasting chicken this way and then deglazing the pan makes for a perfect sauce. After you have deglazed the pan, keep the heat on medium high so the stock reduces quickly. Tempering the sour cream with some warm sauce (warming it before you put it in the hot pan) will keep the sour cream from splitting.

This recipe is great with a little bit of dried tarragon (about 1/8 teaspoon) or some rubbed sage (about 1/2 teaspoon).
