5-INGREDIENT CRISPY HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN RECIPE



5-Ingredient Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe image

Provided by á-48530

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-4 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken parts (breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or a combination)
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water more or less, to thin
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C). For easy clean-up, line a roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Place chicken, skin-side up, on prepared pan. Season with salt and pepper on all sides. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Add water to thin, as necessary. Spoon about half of the sauce over chicken and spread liberally on each piece. Set aside remaining sauce. Bake, uncovered, for about 50 minutes - 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy and golden brown. As the chicken cooks, baste it once or twice with the remaining sauce. Recipe Notes Cooking Just for Two? You can easily cut the recipe in half. The grocery store often sells bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks in packages that range from 1.5 - 2 lbs. That's the perfect amount of chicken to cook for two people, and then just cut the sauce ingredients in half as well. Cooking time and temperature will remain the same.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you use bone-in chicken, you'll need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much stronger flavor than garlic powder, so it's worth taking the time to mince it yourself.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they're overcooked. Cook them until they're just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken. If it's too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to thicken it.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This chicken is delicious served with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This 5-ingredient honey garlic chicken is an easy and flavorful weeknight meal. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it comes together in just 30 minutes. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet, savory, and slightly sticky. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal that the whole family will love.
