2 lbs chicken thighs (i used boneless)
¼ cup red palm oil for searing
3 TBSP Ground Chipotle Seasoning
1 TBSP Ground black pepper
2 TBSP coarse ground sea salt
¹/³ cup all purpose flour
½ cup raw honey

In a large flat skillet, on medium high heat, add red palm oil. Once oil is sizzling hot, add chicken 1 piece at a time to pan. Be sure not to crowd the chicken in pan. Sear chicken on each side for about 3 minutes. Repeat process until all chicken is seared. Set chicken aside on platter.
In same pan used to sear chicken, add flour. Whisk flour rapidly so as not to burn. Add water as needed to make a gravy. Turn fire to medium-low and continue to whisk. How much water is added depends on how thick or thin desired gravy consistency. Be sure to scrap the chicken drippings from bottom of pan. Once gravy is desired consistency, add raw honey and mustard. Continue to whisk until honey is melted. Remove from heat
