The Thigh Who Loved Me Recipe

Ingredients

This is the recipe for the chicken I made for the twins birthday party. It's out of the Crazy Plates cookbook (which explains the name of the recipe). Enjoy everyone.
3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 12 pieces)
3/4 c. ketchup
1/2 c. salsa
1/4 c. honey
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Trim off any visible fat from chicken. Arrange thighs in a single layer in a 9"x13" baking dish. Set aside.

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, salsa, honey, Dijon mustard, chili powder, and cumin until well blended. Pour sauce over chicken. Turn pieces to coat both sides with sauce.

Bake, uncovered, at 400 F. for 45 minutes. When chicken is done, arrange thighs on a serving platter and keep warm. Pour sauce into a small saucepan, skimming off as much fat as possible. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp water until smooth. Add to sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook until sauce thickens, stirring constantly. Pour extra sauce over chicken or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
