 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6      slices        bacon
  8                    skinless boneless chicken thighs
                       flour -- for dredging
    1/3  cup           honey
  3      tablespoons   dijon mustard
  1      teaspoon      curry powder
                       salt
                       ground cayenne

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-8
minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon, reserving bacon drippings in the pan.

Drain bacon on paper toweling, crumble and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Dredge the chicken pieces in flour (season to taste, shake off
excess.

Place skillet with the reserved bacon drippings over low heat; add
the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 10
minutes.

Transfer chicken to a medium casserole (8x8") and bake chicken
uncovered for 30 minutes.

In a small bowl combine the honey, mustard, curry powder, salt and
cayenne to taste.

Drizzle honey mixture over the chicken and bake another 15 minutes.

Top with bacon just before serving.

Notes: Tried 08/14/98 - This is delicious. The chicken was so tender
you could cut it with a fork. I seasoned the flour with about 2
pinches of my cajun seasoning. Serve with rice (long grain or wild)
to soak up the wonderful sauce.
