Recipe serves: 8

Chicken in honey, mustard, and herbs

Ingredients
6 lbs chicken thighs, with bone, skin removed
8 each medium potato
 
Marinade
½ cup mustard
1 cup honey
2 Tbsp chicken soup powder
1 cup warm water
tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
4 Tbsp dill, chopped
2 each large onion, diced and caramelized
 
Garnish
parsley, chopped
 


Preparation steps:
  1. Marinate the chicken:
    Mix the marinade ingredients in a very large 13" paella pan or a large roasting pan (9" x 13").
    Place the chicken thighs, bone side up, in the marinade. Cover with aluminum foil and marinade for 2 hours to overnight, placing the pan in the refrigerator.
  2. Roast the chicken, covered, in the oven for
    40 minutes at 385°F.
  3. Prepare and add the potatoes:
    While the chicken is roasting, peel the potatoes and cut each one into 4 pieces.
    Remove the pan from the oven. Using tongs, take the chicken pieces out and set them aside on a large aluminum tray. Arrange the potato pieces on the bottom of the pan, then place the chicken pieces on top, this time bone side down.
  4. Continue roasting:
    Cover the pan,and roast at 385°F for additional 50 minutes.
    After 30 minutes, quickly remove the pan from the oven, pour some of the sauce over the chicken to keep it moist, and continue roasting for the remaining 20 minutes.
Serving: Garnish the chicken with parsley and serve with steamed rice.
