Ingredients  

  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 4 tablespoons of light amber honey fruit or floral, for example
  • 4 tablespoons fresh tarragon roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Pat chicken dry, rub with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken pieces snugly in a roasting pan. Make a mixture with the honey and tarragon and spread it on top of the chicken (I like to just use my hands, but a small spatula works well here too). You may want to dilute the honey with about a teaspoon of hot water to make the mixture a little easier to spread.
  • Roast the chicken for 35-45 minutes until golden-brown - you may get a lot more browning than you're used to because of the honey! Serve immediately.
