Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs bone in and skin on
  • 1 garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red Anjou pear cut into wedges
  • 2 shallots cut into quarters
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 3 sprigs of rosemary
  • Parsley leaves finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Dry chicken thighs well with paper towels, this will help the marinade stick to the meat better.
  • To a medium sized bowl, add the minced garlic, Dijon, honey, herbs and spices and olive oil and whisk to combine.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a wide dutch oven and pour honey mixture all over the chicken thighs, coating both sides evenly.
  • Nestle the pear wedges and shallots around the chicken and pour the white wine in.
  • Nestle a few sprigs of rosemary and roast chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chic ken is cooked through and sauce has caramelized.
  • Optional, place chicken under the broiler for a minute for extra sticky and crispy skin.
  • Serve chicken thighs with pan juices, roasted pears and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

With any proteins, pat the meat dry with paper towels. This helps the seasonings or marinade stick easily.
If using chicken breasts, cooking adjust cooking time as it may take longer to cook a larger piece of chicken.
Other varieties of pear that will work are comice pears and green anjou pears.
