This golden, sticky, flavor-packed chicken will make your whole house smell like heaven. My husband took one bite and said, “Oh my god, this is fantastic — I hope the kids don’t like theirs!” 😂
Here’s how to make it:
📝 Ingredients:
- 2–4 chicken thighs or breasts (skin-on for best flavor)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional for a little tang)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Fresh rosemary (or dried if that’s what you have)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Juice of half a lemon (optional for brightness)
🔥 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, and mustard until smooth.
- Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and place in a baking dish.
- Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the chicken, coating it evenly.
- Sprinkle fresh rosemary on top.
- Bake uncovered for 30–40 minutes, basting once or twice with the pan juices, until golden and caramelized.
- For extra crispiness, broil the top for the last 2–3 minutes.
💡 Tip: Serve it with buttery mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables — and don’t forget to drizzle that extra sauce from the pan over everything.
Trust me, this one’s a keeper. You’ll be making it again before the week’s over!
