Honey Lemon Chicken is an absolutely delicious recipe.
This is the best recipe you can make for your family.
All in less than 20 minutes!
It must be said that chicken is my favorite source of protein. And I make it several times a week.
So I'm always on the lookout for new recipes.
I can tell you that this one will drive you crazy!
This lemon and honey chicken recipe definitely deserves a 10 out of 10.
It is perfectly soft, tender, juicy, in short, simply delicious.
The honey, lemon, soy sauce and garlic marinade works wonders with chicken.
The end result is sweet, flavorful, slightly sour chicken. I bet you'll get more!
As usual, I prefer the boneless chicken with the skin on. Like this, the skin of the chicken is golden, lacquered, perfectly cooked and grilled. And the meat soaks up the juice well.
You can prepare this dish all year round:baked, barbecued outdoors, or simply prepared in a non-stick or cast iron skillet.
Preparation time: 5 mins - Cooking: 20 mins
- 1 kg deboned chicken thighs with skin on
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 ml of honey
- 15 ml soy sauce
- 15 ml lime juice
- 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch of salt
- chopped parsley
- lime wedges
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Mix the chicken with the garlic, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and salt.
3. Stir to mix well.
4. Transfer the chicken and the honey sauce to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
5. Cover the meat also with a sheet of baking paper so that it does not burn.
6. Put the chicken in the oven for 20 min, until cooked.
7. Then grill the chicken for 1 min to crisp up the skin.
8. Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with the lemon slices.
There you go, your lemon and honey chicken is already ready :-)
Admit that it's easy and quick to do, isn't it?
And above all, you will see that it is really delicious!
Your whole family will love it, including the kids.
- You can also use skinless chicken thighs, chicken fillets or skinless drumsticks to make this recipe.
- Otherwise you can ask your butcher to debone the chicken thighs for you.
- If you don't have lime, you can replace it with lemon.
- You can also prepare this recipe in a nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Don't forget to turn the chicken pieces over if you cook them in a frying pan because otherwise they could darken due to the honey.
- If you cook your chicken in the oven, you can cover your dish with a sheet of baking paper to prevent your chicken from burning or the sauce from charring.
- If you see that the honey darkens when cooked, you can add lemon juice.
- Nothing prevents you from grilling your chicken on the barbecue, outside.
