Honey Dijon Baked Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup Dijon or spicy brown mustard
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Dash ground cayenne pepper
  • 4 split chicken breast halves, bone-in, skin removed or left on

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the honey, mustard, curry powder, butter, and peppers; blend well. Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Trim away any excess fat and remove skin, if desired. Arrange the chicken breasts, skin or meaty side up, in a lightly greased baking pan. Coat the chicken with the honey mixture. Cover with foil and refrigerate for an hour or two. Bake the chicken, covered, in a 375° oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and baste the chicken. Continue baking, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer, basting every 10 to 15 minutes.
