HONEY GLAZED LEMON CHICKEN



Honey Glazed Lemon Chicken image

Citrus fruits go very well with chicken. Like my another dish "Crispy Orange Chicken", it doesn't require extra oil to cook but uses chicken fat from the thigh skin. After pan-frying and baking, the entire skin fat would come out. You get not only crispy skin but also tender and delicious chicken thigh. Plus, using real lemons to make sauce is a lot better than a packed product. Who knows what's in it? Anyway, enjoy this recipe. I think you'll love it!

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons cayenne powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 cups buttermilk
peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
honey, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and mix until combined. In a another medium bowl, combine half of the spice mix with the flour, mixing until the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Add the chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining spice blend. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
  • Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir until the residual spices from the chicken have blended in with the buttermilk to create a light orange color. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Heat the oil to about 325°F (160°C) in a large cast-iron skillet.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them back into the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour. Make sure to shake off excess flour or it'll burn while frying.
  • Fry 3-4 chicken pieces at a time, occasionally turning them over. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest the cooked chicken pieces on a wire rack to let excess oil drain off.
  • Drizzle the chicken with honey, then serve.
  • Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • In a grill pre-heated to medium-high heat or an oven preheated to lo broil (about 400 degrees), cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until chicken is fully cooked.
  • In a small bowl, mix together honey and cider vinegar (to help make the honey easier to stir, warm it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds). Set aside 1/2 of the glaze.
  • During the last minute of cooking, brush 1/2 of the glaze on both sides of the chicken. Remove chicken from grill and drizzle the remaining glaze on top, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality honey: This will give your chicken a rich, flavorful glaze.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: This will make it tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and syrupy: This will help it coat the chicken evenly and give it a delicious glaze.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: This is when it is at its best. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave, but it will not be as good as when it is first cooked.
  • Garnish the chicken with green onions or sesame seeds: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Honey glazed pepper chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and sure to please everyone at the table.
