Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using chicken thighs, pat them dry and trim any excess fat. For pork chops, trim as needed and season with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the curry powder to the melted butter and stir for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Whisk in the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze is slightly thickened.
Arrange the chicken thighs or pork chops in a single layer in a baking dish.
Brush the glaze generously over the chicken or pork, making sure each piece is well coated.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and baste the meat with any glaze pooled in the dish. Continue baking uncovered for another 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for chicken or 145°F (63°C) for pork.
If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly.
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: To freeze, allow the baked chicken or pork to cool completely. Place in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
