Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs

This dish could NOT be easier. I'm not kidding...it took me less than 10 minutes to prepare it and throw it in the oven. Tender and juicy! You could use drumsticks if you want...or breasts, too. Just make sure you leave the skin on...even if you're not going to eat it. The skin helps make it delicious and keeps the chicken from drying out. Seriously good.

Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs



1/3 cup smooth Dijon mustard
1/3 cup honey
1 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 pounds chicken thighs
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk the mustard, honey and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Lay the chicken skin-side up in your prepared pan.

Drizzle the honey mustard sauce over the chicken.

Sprinkle with rosemary.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a knife.

Let's go!
