I made it with half the amount of chicken, same amount of sauce, and found it flavorless, as well. Disappointed

2/10? I mean it’s edible but I agree with the above comment…no flavor.

Hi. Can you use another mustard? Spicy brown? Sweet and hot? Ugh. I’m about to throw it together and missing the Dijon

In reply to Jasmine. I hope you enjoyed. Apologies for not responding before you made this. I think breast will work too. Have a great day!

This looks amazing! I’ve been looking for a good honey mustard chicken and slaw sandwich, I can’t wait to try this. Do you think this would be good with breasts instead of thighs?

In reply to Amy. I am so happy to hear that you both enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for coming back to leave a comment about your experience. And, you are so right! The outcome could definitely depend on how strong your mustard is. :)

Full disclosure: I didn’t make the slaw–not because it didn’t sound good, but because I didn’t have the ingredients for it, and I was strapped for time. I did, however, make the chicken. It wasn’t until everything was already in the slow cooker and simmering that I read the reviews, and saw that one commented it was so bland it was inedible. Uh oh. I tend to prefer stronger-flavoured food, especially a nice zippy mustard flavour…but what could I do? It was already in the crock pot, and I had used up all my mustard in the prescribed 3 tbsp–I couldn’t even add another squirt to try to liven things up.

I’m glad I didn’t have more mustard, though, because this turned out perfectly. It is true that it is more mild-flavoured, but it’s a good flavour: very well balanced and tasty. More mustard would have spoiled it. My husband loved this and has requested I make it again. I also appreciate how easy it is; just a few ingredients, virtually no prep, and delicious! I wonder if it might have something to do with what type of mustard and what type of honey you use. Mine was nothing special, though; just Bee Maid honey and no-name dijon mustard. Next time I’ll plan ahead and make the slaw as well.

In reply to Gina. I'm sad to hear that this recipe was not a hit at your house. And I'm especially sad to hear that the food was tossed in the garbage. Typically I try to help with any issues that a reader may have with a recipe. But, this always turns out saucy for me (the photos even show the sauce dripping off). It is definitely a more mild flavor compared to the regular bbq pulled chicken. Thanks for the feedback and for pointing out that the recipe does not instruct when to shred the chicken. I'll go ahead and add that for anyone that may be wondering. Have a great day!

I made this for my husband’s birthday dinner, and we were SO disappointed. I followed the recipe exactly (except the recipe never tells you when to actually shred the chicken so I took the chicken out and shredded it while I had the cornstarch thickening and returned the chicken to crock pot to heat up again)…. There was NO flavor. It tasted like plain chicken that was cooked in its own juices. Absolutely no hint of honey, mustard, or flavor at all. The cabbage slaw was the same. Not good at all. We threw all of the rest away. Super disappointed!
