Oven baked chicken with honey
To cook Honey Chicken you will need the following ingredients (for 6 servings):
- chicken (weight 1 kg) - 1 pc.;
- 3 tbsp. l. honey;
- garlic - 2-3 cloves;
- spices (dry Italian herbs) - to taste;
- salt, black pepper - to taste;
- water.
For this dish, broiler chicken is ideal, which must be rinsed in cold water and cut along the breast. Rub the chicken well with salt.
Prepare the chicken marinade: Combine garlic, squeezed with a garlic press or finely grated, honey and spices. It is best to use a mixture of dry Italian herbs (oregano, basil, savory, shambhala, lemongrass), which are traditionally used in Italy for cooking chicken.
Brush the chicken on all sides with a spicy honey marinade and place in a baking sheet or baking dish. Pour about 100 ml of boiled water onto a baking sheet or baking dish. Place the chicken in a preheated oven and set the baking temperature to 180 ° C. The chicken is baked in honey for about 1 hour, depending on the size. The honey marinade helps the crust to brown quickly and turn brown. Cover the chicken with foil 15-20 minutes before the end of baking so that it is golden brown instead of brown. Be sure to check the degree of doneness of the chicken as follows: pierce the thigh or loin with a fork or knife. In the event that the inside of the juice is bloody, then the chicken is not yet ready. Bake until the juice is clear.
Remove chicken with honey, baked in the oven and cut into pieces in portions. Serve with any side dish.
