I like curries of all sorts and I am constantly looking for new ways to enjoy curry. A while ago I came across a recipe for curried honey dijon roasted chicken that sounded good. It is basically a recipe for honey and dijon chicken with some curry. I had been wanting to try honey dijon chicken as well and I thought that the idea of that amazing curry aroma and flavour could only make it better. I was sold and it quickly made it to my meal plan. Though I liked the look of the sliced chicken breast with the golden brown outside and white inside I decided to go with chicken thighs with the skin and bone as they have more flavour. This chicken was really easy to make; you just have to mix the marinade and let it marinate and then roast it in the oven. Pretty much all of the hard work is in the waiting. The curried honey dijon roasted chicken turned out really nicely. The chicken was moist and tender and full of flavour. I really liked the combination of the curry, mustard and honey and they balanced out well. I garnished the chicken with some chopped cilantro and served it with some coconut butternut squash and sauteed chard with raisins and pine nuts .

Chicken is so versatile but can easily be boring if you make it the same way, time after time!

DocChuck says
November 7, 2008 at 6:32 pmWOW! Those thighs look good. And, so easy to do.
Thighs are my very favorite part of the bird, the most flavorful in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Marjie says
November 7, 2008 at 9:55 pmI’ve been using a lot of dijon on fish and chicken lately, and it’s great for adding tons of flavor without tons of ingredients!
Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) says
November 7, 2008 at 10:43 pmFantastic combination — the skin looks so tempting, though I’d remove it before eating.
Heather says

November 9, 2008 at 2:40 pmI always roast chicken thighs with honey, dijon mustard and lemon juice, but your version with curry powder sounds really interesting! I’m gonna give it a try tonight!
meeso says
November 9, 2008 at 3:00 pmCurry is always good, great looking chicken!
Shannon says
November 9, 2008 at 8:53 pmI made this for dinner last night and it was mouthwateringly delicious (and super easy)! I didn’t believe that it would be enough marinade for four chicken thighs, but when I put them all in a ziploc bag to marinate, it was more than enough. Thanks!

November 11, 2008 at 11:16 pmNow that we are on a fixed income, I’m always looking for recipes that use chicken thighs (though we both prefer breats).
This recipe was excellent. Perfect for a busy nurse like myself to come home and make for her retired husband who puttered about all day. LOL!
Nathalie says
November 12, 2008 at 1:09 amThe recipe is too tempting! I’m trying to make this tonight (chicken is marinating as we speak)
I’ll let you all know how delicious it is!
Jeanne says
November 12, 2008 at 12:45 pmI’m sorry, that picture is pure food p0rn! So refreshing to see somebody other than me actually chooses thighs over bland breast meat and eats the skin (the best part!). Bookmarked.
MrsDocChuck says
November 12, 2008 at 4:20 pmI forgot to tell to that the closet is a terrible place to be. I should know, our son took a terribly long time to “come out” of the closet, due to my husband’s hostilities. But eventually Chuck got over it and Chuck Jr. is living a happy life.
Please don’t limit yourself!
Nathalie says
November 12, 2008 at 5:29 pmI made this recipe last night (along with your roasted sweet potato wedges)
The unusual combination of honey, curry, and dijon mustard was WONDERFUL!

November 20, 2008 at 3:59 pmI just HAD to come back here and leave a comment.
I made this the other night for my husband and I and it was INSANELY GOOD! I followed the recipe except that I used bonesless, skinless chicken breast, cooked with foil on until the last 15 minutes or so. DELICIOUS!!
Thanks!
PaniniKathy says
December 18, 2008 at 4:44 amJust made this tonight and it was so incredibly good! My husband loved it too and he is not a fan of mustard (only told him about the dijon after the fact and he was surprised). One of the better chicken dishes I’ve had – thanks so much for the excellent recipe!

April 13, 2009 at 8:02 pmI made this for dinner last Thursday. It is wonderful! The picture looks much better than mine did. It was a pretty dish but I wish it had more a glazed finish. This is definitely being added to my arsenal. THANKS!

TateTwo says
January 8, 2013 at 7:23 pmI made this for dinner last night and have to say it's pretty awesome. I used a country style dijon and added baby carrots to the pan, letting them roast in with the sauce. Just a wonderful dish and I love the curry!
