Similar to a Moroccan tagine, this stew is great dish to make ahead and reheat. Using breasts with the rib keeps the meat more moist. I find that wildflower honey has the most neutral flavor, while mesquite honey adds a nice smoky note. If using saffron feels intimidating, use 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric instead.
Fast Fact: Cinnamon and ginger add more than flavor. They also have proven health-enhancing benefits.
Quick Tip: To peel the tomatoes, I use a vegetable peeler with a serrated blade. This eliminates dropping them into boiling water until skin splits.

Two teaspoons of vanilla extract, whisked into the yolks in step 4, can be substituted for the vanilla bean. The best way to judge doneness is with a digital instant-read thermometer. The custards, especially if baked in shallow fluted dishes, will not be deep enough to provide an accurate reading with a dial-face thermometer. For the caramelized sugar crust, we recommend turbinado or Demerara sugar. Regular granulated sugar will work, too, but use only 1 scant teaspoon on each ramekin or 1 1/2 teaspoons on each shallow fluted dish. If your oven has a history of uneven heating, the custards may finish at different rates, so it is advisable to check each one separately rather than take the whole lot out at once.
