Honey-Glazed Chicken with White Wine, Mustard and Thyme
This recipe is inspired by combining two dishes my mother used to make when I was younger–honey-glazed drumsticks and grilled Dijon chicken. It’s as foolproof and delicious as you can get for an easy weeknight meal, but equally at home as a dish to serve to guests. It goes without saying, but use your favorite local honey and Finger Lakes white wine.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken broken down into pieces and backbone remove
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons white wine
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Place chicken pieces skin-side up in a single layer in a ceramic or glass baking dish. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Smear over the chicken pieces, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until meat is cooked through and skin is nicely browned.
