From the Test Kitchen

To give this classic, Southern-style chicken dish a sophisticated lift, we’re quickly pickling a combination of brown and yellow mustard seeds in sugar and vinegar, then tossing them with crisp cabbage and cucumber for exciting texture and piquant flavor in our slaw. It’s the perfect partner for the sweet, rich honey butter that tops our chicken and corn.
