Honey/Mustard Sauce for Chicken

Made this up today - since the other recipes I found for honey/mustard sauce all called for honey and I didn't have any - except for an unopened jar of "chili honey" that I got for Christmas. It's spicy, warm, and sweet. So, here goes:

Mix all ingredients together:

1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup chili honey

2 heaping tablespoons (or to taste) EACH of:
Orange chipotle mustard
Sweet grainy mustard (has maple syrup in it)
Cheap, regular French's mustard

2 cloves of crushed garlic

While chicken is cooking, baste it with the sauce every 10 - 15 minutes or so.


Of course, I have not yet actually COOKED the chicken - but the sauce sure tastes good in the bowl! You could probably do without the butter, but why?

UPDATE: As good as it was in the bowl, some of the flavour got lost in the cooking process. Original recipe called for one tablespoon of each mustard - not mustardy enough when cooked so I upped the mustards and added the garlic because garlic equals extra mustard in this particular instance.
