Baked Honey Butter Curry Chicken

I’ve been making this Baked Honey Butter & Curry Chicken for quite some time now.  Butter, honey, curry and dijon mustard – who would have thought this combination would be so delicious (and easy to boot!).

You can use any portion of the chicken, but I personally like dark meat, particularly, legs.  I’m a drumsticks fan (I enjoy eating with my hands … how uncouth of me).

I like to pair this Baked Honey Butter & Curry Chicken with some baked Parmesan Asparagus, which was also quick and easy.

First,  you make the glaze/marinade mixture for the chicken, which comprises of melted butter, honey, mustard (I like dijon), curry powder, and salt.

Lay out your chicken pieces in a pan. 

Pour the butter/honey/mustard/curry mixture evenly on the chicken.   Now, throw them in the oven.  That’s it!

It can’t get any easier than that, can it? 

While the chicken is baking.  I rinse the asparagus, cut off an inch off the ends (those tend to be old and hard to chew).  Toss it with some olive oil, and in the oven they go too!  When the asparagus comes out of the oven, toss it with some parmasan and garlic salt.

Easy peasy, right?

Chicken’s done!  Mmmm.

Dinner’s ready!

Here’s the recipes.
