This is the best Honey Baked Chicken I have ever tasted. Not only is the aroma simply tantalizing the flavor is impeccable and best of all, it’s easy to make.

Last weekend I had a few friends over for dinner to celebrate becoming a grandmother and I figured I would try out this recipe. Who better to make my guinea pigs then people close enough to me to be honest and give constructive criticism. I was hoping for a few that would tell me it needed more herbs or spices, or even that they just didn’t like it. That way I would be able to alter the recipe and “test” it on friends and family again. But alas… They All Loved It! With such a review like that I thought I would share this recipe with everyone.

Honey Baked Chicken

Ingredients:
3 or 4 lbs. chicken, cut up
1/2 Cup margarine, melted
1/2 Cup honey 1 tsp salt
1/4 Cup prep. mustard
1 tsp curry

Directions:

1. Cut up chicken, rinse and pat dry.
2. Place chicken in baking dish.
3. In medium bowl mix melted margarine, honey, salt, prepared mustard, and curry.
4. Pour over the chicken.
5. Cover and bake for 90 minutes 350F (basting every 15-20 minutes)

Now the best part about this dish is how much will be left overs… NONE! Also if you use a non-stick baking dish (such as a casserole dish) cleanup will be a breeze too.

The only alteration I made to this recipe is that I omitted the salt and replaced it with fresh ground pepper only because I do not care for salt. When I had mentioned to everyone that there wasn’t any salt in the recipe no one seemed to know. Feel free to alter the amount of honey, mustard or curry to perfect the taste for your family.

Enjoy
