Honey mustard is easily recreated without any sweetener when it’s made with healthy fats like butter or coconut oil. Use whichever you like best, or try mixing the two.

45 minutes

YIELD

12 chicken thighs
(4-6 servings)

Black pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Sage Salt (recipe here) or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt + 1/2 teaspoon dried sage

reheated in the oven or toaster-oven, and they make a delicious, mild breakfast as well.
