Crispy, crunchy chicken drizzled with a spicy honey mustard sauce is soon to become a favorite chicken dish. Baking the chicken provides a satisfying crunch without the added fat from frying. Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
8 skinned and boned chicken thighs |
3/4 cup honey, divided |
3/4 cup dijon mustard, divided |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup finely chopped pecans |
1/2 teaspoon curry powder |
garnish: italian parsley sprigs |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients; sprinkle evenly over chicken in a shallow dish. Stir together 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup mustard, and garlic; pour over chicken. Cover and chill 2 hours.
2. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Dredge chicken in pecans; place on a lightly greased rack in an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan.
3. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until chicken is done.
4. Stir together remaining 1/4 cup honey, remaining 1/4 cup mustard, and curry powder; serve sauce with chicken. Garnish if desired.
