Barbeque Baked Chicken

This quick solution to yet another round of baked chicken breast turned out really yummy.

4 bone-in chicken breasts
1 small can tomato paste
3 tablespoons mustard
3 tablespoons honey
1 tsp ground chile powder
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp salt

Put the chicken into a glass baking dish. Mix all other ingredients in a small bowl to make a thick paste; then slather on the chicken. (I use my hands to do the slathering.)

Bake at 350 until the chicken is cooked through. Test the temperature at 40 minutes; could take up to an hour.

SCD notes: homemade ketchup can take the place of the tomato paste; chili powder is basically a blend of ancho chile powder and ground cumin in about a 3:1 ratio.
