PLUM-GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

SEARED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PLUM GLAZE
This came from Fresh Market. Once a week they have cooking presentations that they do and you get to sample what they cooked. This one Sat. was this and it was so delicious. Putting recipe here so I don't lose it. The wine that they used was called Diseno Malbec but I am sure any red would work. For the chutney they used the brand Virginia Chutney Company. Serve over garlic mashed potatoes or wild rice.
