My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Honey-Rosemary Chicken with Yukon Gold Potatoes

12 skinless bone-in chicken thighs (about 5 lbs)
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb baby Yukon Gold potatoes
2 medium onions (cut into thin wedges)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp coarsely chopped fresh rosemary, plus sprigs for garnish
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Rinse chicken and pat dry.  (I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs.)   Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat.  Add chicken and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.  

Place the potatoes, onion and garlic in slow cooker; top with chicken.

Stir together honey, juice, cornstarch, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl.  Pour over chicken.  cover and cook 6 -8 hours on low or 3 - 4 hours on high.  Serve garnished with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
