HONEY-PECAN CHICKEN THIGHS
This first came from Southern Living Complete Quick and Easy Cookbook: 2009
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
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Procedures:
  1. ___Combine first four 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 2-8 hours.
  2. ___Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade
  3. ___Dredge chicken in pecans; place on a lightly greased rack in an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan.
  4. ___Bake at 375o for 40 minutes or until chicken is done.
  5. ___Stir together remaining honey, remaining mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder; serve sauce with chicken.
Notes:
2013-01-22: We used 5 thighs with skin and bones. Next time, the skin needs to be removed before marinating.
2010-06-24: This had its first try with the three of us. It wasn't great, but we'll probably try it again.
