Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 bone-in chicken breasts or 1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Non-stick cooking spray or foil for the baking pan

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by either spraying with non-stick cooking spray or lining with foil.
  4. Rinse chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  5. Arrange chicken pieces in the prepared baking pan.
  6. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  7. Bake uncovered for about 1 hour, or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

You can prepare the marinade ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. For a gluten-free version, substitute tamari for soy sauce. Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier results. Don't discard the pan juices - they make an excellent sauce for serving over rice or bread. Use a darker, local honey for more complex flavor notes if available.
