Par-cooking the chicken ensures that the various parts cook through before the skin blackens. This is particularly helpful when using a sugar- or honey-based glaze, which can burn easily. Serve with potato salad and some sliced ripe tomatoes with a lemon juice and olive oil dressing.
Curried Honey-Mustard Barbecued Chicken
Start to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes active)
Servings: 4
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup coarse-grain mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
4 teaspoons hot or mild curry powder
Salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut up
Salt, to taste
In a bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, oil, curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Set aside.
Heat the oven to 375 F. Season the chicken with additional salt and place it on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil (for easy cleanup). Bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a grill to medium-high (about 375 F to 400 F).
Remove chicken from the oven and brush with the curried honey-mustard sauce. Grill the chicken, turning and basting frequently, until well browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
