Easy Baked Curry, Mustard & Honey Chicken

A couple of years ago I was sent a review copy of The Six O’Clock Scramble: Quick, Healthy, and Delicious Dinner Recipes for Busy Families. I have enjoyed several recipes from it and then it somehow slipped out of favor and hid on the shelf that holds my cookbooks! A while back a friend of mine asked if she could borrow some cookbooks to get some new ideas and I saw that one and loaned it to her. She went out and bought her own copy she liked it so much and just sent me a list of several recipes she’d really enjoyed, one of which was this chicken, which I made last night.

It is super easy with just 5 ingredients. I mixed up the sauce at lunch and cut up my whole chicken to marinate in it until dinner time.

Baked Curry, Mustard & Honey Chicken

Ingredients

4 Tbs butter
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp curry powder
8 pieces of bone-in chicken

Instructions

Melt the butter and stir in the mustard, honey and curry powder. I’ve written her measurements above but I might cut down on the honey a bit next time. It seemed just a tad sweet–but good!
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, like we do, put it under the broiler the last 5 minutes or so.

Notes

You can prepare the chicken and sauce up to 24 hours ahead.

I served this with plain rice and a green salad with salsa dressing. Leftovers of everything were great today for lunch!

Cool ideas here, thanks. I actually took the plunge and got me some chickens last week! Now I have more eggs than I know what to do with!. You might like these egg recipes.

That chicken looks delicious and the recipe is super easy. I have followed your website for about two years or so and I think you are fantastic.

Tonight I made something quick and easy too. Some chicken (1/2 as thick as the chicken) baked in water with cinnamon, salt, pepper, dry mustard, and a little Italian seasoning rub on it. Then they had tater tots on sale so I made a cheesy tater side dish. Just add butter to a skillet until melted then add in flour until dissolved. Add in milk, cheese, and salt, and pepper until your skillet is full of cheese sauce and it is liquidy. Pour it over top the taters as bake as directed. You can then cut up the cooked chicken and toss it in. I also cooked some green beans with a little bacon (and ends and pieces bulk box). Making for a delicious meal.

The best thing is tomorrow for lunch we will have some delicious mac and cheese. I make extra chicken, cheese sauce, and bacon. I I cut the meat real fine and and boil some rigatoni or what have you. I finely shred and chop some carrots and mix everything together for gourmet mac and cheese with chicken, bacon, and carrots. I butter a piece of white toast and put it face down on 400 degrees on a foil lined cookie sheet until that side is lightly browned and turn over add mozzarella, parm, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and that makes for 5 minute garlic cheese bread. Yes tomorrow will be a delicious meal made cheap.
