Ugly Naked Chicken image

The sweet tangy sauce this chicken cooks in results in delicious, sweet, slightly sticky chicken that is just delicious. It may be the ugliest chicken you've ever seen (especially if you skin the chicken first, as I usually do), but it sure does taste good.I usually grab a "family pack" of select chicken parts or I use drumsticks and yank off all the skin with the help of kitchen shears. A serving is two pieces each. I originally found this in one of my favorite community cookbooks, "Enough to Feed an Army" years ago. This is my adaptation and I gave it the name "Ugly Naked" based on my method of skinning the chicken.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 pieces bone-in skinless chicken
garlic powder, to taste
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 cup honey
1/8 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/8 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place chicken pieces in a 9x13" casserole sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Generously sprinkle chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a microwaveable bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, butter, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice and heat on HIGH power for about 30-45 seconds, or until butter melts and you can easily stir ingredients together- watch carefully so you don't overheat it and end up with a melted butter mess in your microwave.
  • After chicken has baked for the 40 minutes, pour the honey mixture all over the chicken and bake another 10 minutes, flip chicken over, bake another 10 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked all the way through and is tender.
  • Note: If you prefer your chicken"dressed," go ahead and leave the skin on.

This recipe is a great way to make a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in one pan, so there's less cleanup. And the sauce is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well for me. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. I won't be making it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the sauce was way too salty. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was a bit bland. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the chicken was very flavorful and the sauce was nice and thick.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is delicious. I usually serve it with rice or mashed potatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some roasted chicken I had on hand, and it turned out delicious. The sauce is tangy and flavorful, and the chicken is nice and tender.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The chicken was incredibly moist and tender, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a definite keeper! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the skin was crispy and golden brown. I served it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, and it was a hit with my family.
