This honey glazed chicken features tender chicken pieces coated in a sweet and tangy glaze made from honey, lemon juice, and soy sauce. The flour coating creates a subtle crust that helps the glaze adhere perfectly, resulting in juicy chicken with a slightly crispy exterior. It's an elegant yet simple dish that's perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality local honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Consider making extra glaze to serve over rice - it soaks up all the wonderful flavors and completes the meal beautifully. The chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain the tender texture.
For a variation, try adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the flour mixture for added complexity or heat.
