Honey Dijon Chicken Thighs

Honey is the new sugar. For real people, throw your sugar away.. unless you have a partner who still demands non-Paleo baked goods every now and again, in that case shove your sugar really really far back in a cabinet and leave your raw organic honey out on the counter. I didn't realize I was eating the fake stuff all these years! I probably consume way more raw organic honey than is recommended by avid Paleoers, if I turn into a bumble bee don't be alarmed. Not only will I eat the stuff by the spoonful, but I've also started to put it on any piece of meat I can get away with. Here is the latest and greatest in raw organic honey.

Honey Dijon Chicken Thighs:



Ingredients:
  • 1 lb chicken thighs (bone in or out)
  • 1/2 cup raw organic honey
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary
  • salt and pepper
Here's what you do: Mix honey, mustard, olive oil, and rosemary until incorporated. Add an additional teaspoon of olive oil if the mixture looks too thick. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brush the entire mixture over chicken. It's really delish if you let it marinade all day. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

*I sprinkled rosemary and pepper on our roasted veggies as well!
