Servings: persons

2 skinless chicken thighs, bone-in (not too small)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
fresh ground pepper
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
6 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons dry unseasoned breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F.
2
Mix flour, cayenne, 1/8 tsp salt and a few turns of the pepper mill in a shallow bowl.
3
Mix egg and milk in another small bowl.
4
Combine pecans and breadcrumbs and remaining salt on waxed paper or in a shallow dish.
5
Pat thighs dry and dredge in flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture, then coat with pecan mixture on both sides, pressing in gently to help them adhere.
6
Place on a shallow baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until chicken is done. Don't overcook or chicken will be dry.
7
While chicken is cooking, in a small bowl combine raspberry preserves, mustard and honey, mixing well. Heat in microwave until hot. This can also be done in a small saucepan on the stove, but it's just as good in the microwave and you don't have to dirty another pan.
8
Place chicken on plate and drizzle with raspberry sauce.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
