Recipe: * Honey-Pecan Chicken Thighs
May 2002: page 182

Scott's Wine Suggestion:
Humble chicken thighs may not be as popular as breast meat, but they are known for having rich flavor, which is what makes this recipe all the more hardy. And with the addition of honey, Dijon mustard, curry powder, and chopped pecans, this delicious recipe is elevated to something quite tasty and perfect for entertaining. Here's an opportunity to try a "crossover" wine, meaning a medium- to full-bodied white or a light-bodied red that works with both red or white meat.
