Tips:
- To achieve the most flavorful dish, use high-quality, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones and skin add richness and depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Use fresh tarragon leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

The tarragon and mustard add a unique and delicious flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
