Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 -4 lbs chicken, cut up
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow bowl.
  • Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture.
  • Melt the butter and pour into a 9x13 baking pan and add pieces of floured chicken in a single layer, turning chicken to coat with butter.

  • While chicken is baking make sauce.

  • Spoon pan juices over chicken and serve.
  • For the Honey Butter Sauce: In a small pan melt the butter while beating in the honey and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist.
  • Use a flavorful butter. The honey butter used in this recipe is a great way to add extra flavor to the chicken. You can also use other flavored butters, such as garlic butter or herb butter.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This helps to create a crispy skin and juicy interior.
  • Baste the chicken frequently. Basting the chicken with the melted honey butter helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This herb chicken with honey butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the honey butter adds a touch of sweetness and richness. Serve this chicken with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
