Honey Garlic Chicken

"This is a quick and easy, but delicious meal. A sweet and tangy chicken. It can be done in the morning and placed in the oven when you get home from work. I definately recommend serving this with rice because the sauce is too good to pass up."

  1. This was a pretty good recipe. My family liked it a lot more than I did so I guess that's what counts. I did as Chef 786983 recommended and drained the sauce after the first 45 min of baking to thicken it on the stove top with cornstarch. I covered the chicken as much as I could with the thickened sauce with 15 min left to cook and it came out great. We will definitely cook this again as it's pretty easy and tasty.
     
  2. I made this recipe for lunch today. I read the other reviews and cut the honey down a bit and added a little more soy sauce and garlic. It was amazing! An instant hit and had everyone wanting more. I will definitely make this again. Thanks!
     
  3. I really love this and have cooked it a couple of times, but it was too sweet the first time, so I cut the sugar and honey in half which brings the rest of the flavours out more, its gone into my book of favourite recipes!
     
  4. Very good sauce. I used a minced garlic clove instead of the garlic salt and prepared mustard instead of dry. I also didn't add in any additional salt since there's already ketchup and soy sauce in this recipe. I cooked this sauce on the stovetop and served over baked chicken and brown rice. A real keeper, thanks!
     
  5. This is a nice tasting recipy. I didn't have any dry mustard, so I used prepared, and I added about 1 tsp. of garlic powder. I thought the sauce could handle it. When the chicken was cooking, I found the sauce to be really liquidy. The chicken was almost braising. After the cooking time given, I put the chicken on a baking sheet and put it back in the oven to crisp up. I added about 11/2 Tbsp of cornstarch to the sauce and cooked it until it thickened a bit. I served it with rice and a salad. I think some hot sauce might be nice added to this recipy too. I can see how this would be good with chicken wings. Thanks for posting.

  1. Very nice recipe - I changed a few things I felt it needed more taste so I added cayanne pepper which went great with the honey! I think the ketchup made it a bit odd - next time I'll skip it or add a honey/brown sugar BBQ sauce instead... But it kept the chicken moist and it was very good, I also made a batch to freeze (raw chicken in the sauce) for future use
     
  2. This was fantastic!! A definate husband pleaser. I used a whole chicken that I had portioned and fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. Just the perfect amount of sweet for us. just fantastic. Thankyou for posting.
     
  3. I made this last night, It looked like the sauce was going to be really really sweet so I used tomato sauce in place of the ketchup, I also substituted prepared mustard for the dry and white wine vinegar. If you Love sweet bbq sauce you will love this recipe, it was just way to sweet for me. I also had to thicken the sauce with cornstarch which may be due to the tomato sauce I used instead of ketchup. Super easy recipe though and easy to customize, I will try it again without the honey and brown sugar.
     
  4. This was wonderful. I cooked the entire time then put on baking sheet and cooked for another 10 mins to get crunchy texture and while doing this added cornstarch and water to sauce to thicken up both of this as this is what a couple other reviewer said. We loved this. I did as you mentioned and marinated this starting this morning for about 9 hours before cooking. I served this with wide egg noodles instead of rice as this was a family preference. Thanks for posting we will be makeing this again!!! LOVED this!!!
     
  5. Saw the recipe and it sounded sooo yummy so I made it for dinner this evening. I used 4 cloves of fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. Before adding the sauce over the chicken I tasted it and found it to be super sweet even though I love sweet things. I added a TB. of soy sauce to take an edge off the sweetness. My chicken seemed to be floating in the sauce once it was cooked even though I followed according to directions... AND I only used HALF the amount !! I served it with roasted carrots and rice. An okay recipe but I doubt I would make it again. My DH and DD felt the same way. Thanks for posting.
