Honey Mustard Chicken

My Uncle Brent and Aunt Fae recommended this recipe from FoodieCrush . It's a keeper. I will definitely be making this again. Simple and flavorful. My kind of cooking.

Trim any excess fat or skin from the chicken thighs, rinse them with cold water and pat dry with paper towels, then set aside.

Stir until just mixed (batter will be runny � don�t be alarmed!). Bake in an 8� square pan at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. This doubles perfectly for a 9 x 13-inch pan. Honey Butter 2 sticks butter, softened 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (This is a modification. You could also add a little cinnamon.) For the honey butter, whip all together with an electric mixer and serve at room temperature (can be refrigerated and softened).
