    Must Have.

    My husband is a very picky eater who enjoys high fat, high calorie foods and complains when given something to eat that is low fat. However, every recipe I have made him out of this recipe book he has thoroughly enjoyed.

    Janet and Greta have made a lot of old standby dishes sound so much more interesting and healthy. If the recipes are half as good as the ones in Looneyspoons I will be quite content. Even if you are not a foodie like me but like to know some food trivia and tips on eating healthier that doesn't sound like another lecture, try this one out. There are some real eye-openers in here.

Recipe

The Thigh Who Loved Me Recipe

As sisters and double-agents, we risked life and limb to uncover the secret formula for zesty, gooey, barbequed chicken thighs. You can deliver the goods to your dinner table knowing they're sure to please a crowd. Psst! They make great leftovers, too.

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 12 pieces)
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup 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 x 13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, wisk 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° 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 the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon 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.

Makes 4-6 servings.

Hint: If you prefer, chicken breasts or drumsticks can be used in place of thighs. If using chicken breasts, bake them for 30 minutes, not 45.
