So, today I bring you a new chicken recipe and might I add that it is a showstopper.

Honey Lemon Turmeric Glazed Chicken

6 bone-in chicken thighs, skin on

3 t. turmeric powder, divided

2 t. fine sea salt

1 t. black pepper

1/2 t. ground coriander

2 T. coconut oil (I use Carrington brand)

1/4 to 1/3 cup clover honey

1 1/2 T. chopped fresh cilantro

Juice of 1 small lemon

In a small bowl, combine 2 t. turmeric powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coriander. Sprinkle seasoning on chicken pieces; set aside.

Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange chicken skin-side down, not crowding the skillet. Work in two batches if necessary. Cook chicken for 6 minutes or until skin is golden brown. Turn chicken over and cook another 6 minutes then reduce heat to medium.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine remaining 1 t. turmeric with honey in a small bowl. Flip chicken to skin side up and pour honey mixture over chicken. Spoon sauce over chicken, coating each piece.

Place skillet in oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165 degrees. Remove skillet from oven.

To finish, squeeze lemon juice over chicken and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Serve hot with sauce and your favorite side dishes.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
