  1. Delicious! The honey-orange glaze was quite good, and the chicken was really moist and baked perfectly. I will definitely make this again, but I would double the glaze so I had a little extra to spoon over a side dish of white rice. It was quite good though, and we all enjoyed it. Thanks, Nancy's Pantry. Made for you week 2 win in the 2014 Football Pool.
     
  2. I used the same chicken breasts as tracytrebilcox's review. It's just the 2 of us and breasts are the only meat we like. I loved the flavor of this glaze. I sprayed the chicken with butter spray instead of using the butter. This will be made often since I have an orange tree and need ways to use up those oranges. Very good!
     
  3. I used the chicken breasts that you can find in the freezer section because I really hate having bones in my food, and the only problem with this receipe was that there wasn't much left for lunch the next day. It was really an easy meal because it was just the chicken, butter, a couple of oranges to zest and honey. Need to put this on the menu for the end of the week when I get in the mood for, "Oh My God, I am so sick of cooking but I need to get dinner on the table."
