Honey Mustard Curry Chicken

*Post by Angela.

Yeah, you read that right. Honey mustard curry chicken. Honey and mustard are often compatriots, but curry? Surprisingly, it adds just the right amount of warmth to this dish, which I found at allrecipes.

 

List of ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup whole grain mustard
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 3 lbs chicken thighs and legs

First, I preheated the oven to 350 degress, and whisked together the butter, honey, mustard, salt and curry powder in a small bowl.

Next, I placed the chicken, skin up, in a roasting pan, and poured the honey mustard curry mixture over top, making sure that each piece of chicken was thoroughly coated. The sauce-drenched chicken went in the oven for an hour and 15 minutes, with me basting the pieces with pan juices every 15 minutes.

I served up the chicken with some bacon-braised Brussels sprouts. I really loved how the sweet sauce caramelized atop the chicken skin, and the dark meat chicken stayed nice and juicy throughout the cooking process. And like I said, the curry adds a little something special. Looks like honey and mustard may have found themselves a new playmate.
