- 4 Tbsp. butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup Dijon or yellow mustard (use wheat/gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 - 2 tsp. curry powder
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 whole chicken cut up or use 8 - 12 bone-in chicken of your choice skin removed if desired, about 4 lbs.
Ingredients
|
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over medium-low heat. Add the mustard, honey, curry powder, and cayenne pepper (optional) and continue cooking and stirring until the sauce is well mixed, about 2 minutes.
- Arrange the chicken pieces in a large baking pan. Pour the sauce over the chicken. (At this point you can refrigerate and marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours, or bake it right away.)
- Bake the chicken for 50 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, turn the chicken over and baste it with the sauce.
- For browner tops, put the chicken under the broiler for the final 5 minutes of cooking. Serve it immediately, refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
- Prepare the sauce as above. Place the chicken pieces in the slow cooker, pour the sauce on top, and flip a few times to coat. Cook it for 8 – 10 hours on low or 4 - 5 hours on high. (Slow cooker cooking times may vary—Get to know your slow cooker and, if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.)
Do Ahead or Delegate: Make the marinade and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator, or fully prepare and refrigerate or freeze the dish.
Scramble Flavor Booster: Double the curry powder, add the cayenne pepper to the sauce.
Tip: Want to give your metabolism a little jolt? Include the optional cayenne pepper in this dish. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which can temporarily boost your metabolism. Just keep in mind that a little goes a long way if you’re catering to sensitive palates.
