Baked Chicken with Curry, Mustard and Honey
This is from The Six O'Clock Scramble: Quick, Healthy, and Delicious Dinner Recipes for Busy Families, a great source of family weeknight recipes.
It is super easy with just 5 ingredients. You can mix up the sauce the night before and let the chicken marinate in it overnight.
- 4 Tbs butter
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 8 pieces of bone-in chicken
Melt the butter and stir in the mustard, honey and curry powder.
Put the chicken in a baking pan and pour the sauce over it. Flip the chicken around so it's coated, then put skin side down. If you're not baking it now, cover and refrigerate, then pull out while the oven is preheating so you don't stick a too-cold baking dish in the hot oven. (Alternately, you could marinate the chicken in a freezer bag, then put in the baking dish before baking.)
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake the chicken 30 minutes, then turn the pieces over so the skin is up so it can get crispy. Bake another 25-30 minutes. If you like extra crispy skin put it under the broiler the last 5 minutes or so.
I liked it with the extra sauce served over rice.
