Honey Glazed Hickory Chicken Recipes

HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken in hot oil until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Pour honey mixture into skillet and continue to cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes more.

HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put 2 chicken breasts, skin side up in a small baking dish and season.
• Squeeze the lemon into a bowl and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the chicken, then tuck the squeezed-out half of lemon between the pieces (this will moisten and add flavour to the chicken).
• Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). Cook until done and richly glazed, basting with the juices at least twice. To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
• Serve with salad and potatoes roasted with herbs and garlic.

HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the honey, soy sauce, lemon, oil, and ginger in a bowl and "melt" in microwave for ~1 minute.
• Put flour, garlic powder, and salt & pepper in plastic bag and add chicken. Shake to coat chicken w/flour mixture.
• Take a baking dish just big enough for the chicken, coat with cooking spray. Add chicken and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
• Add the glaze to the chicken and cook for 5 minutes.
• Turn chicken in glaze and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve.
• Cooking times may need to be longer if you have a really big, thick, breast. I use the Perdue frozen tenders (defrosted) so that they will cook evenly. I have used the equivalent of 2 chicken breasts for the same amount of glaze, but this doubles easily.

HONEY GLAZED HICKORY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Soak the wood chips in cool water for atleast 30 minutes and then place them in a shallow foil pan.
• Place the pan in the center of your grill while it is preheating.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together the honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Add the chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat.
• Place chicken on grill and cook until no longer pink on the inside, the time may vary depending on how big your chicken was (Chef's note: I normally put the chicken breasts on the grill about 7 minutes before everything else because they take longer to cook).

TANGERINE & HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Grate 1 tsp tangerine zest (colored part of peel) squeeze enough juice to get 1/2 cup. Slice remaining tangerine into wedges. Place juice in large bowl; add honey, soy sauce, garlic and 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper. Mix. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover; marinate in refrigerator 2 to 3 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 400°F Line large jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil.
• Drain marinade into saucepan; boil 3 minutes or until reduced by half.
• Arrange chicken skin side up on jelly-roll pan; bake 40 minutes or until cooked, basting every 1o minutes with marinade and pan juices. Garnish with tangerine wedges.

LIME, PAPRIKA AND HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F
• Mix the flour and paprika and season with salt and pepper. Dust the chicken legs in the flour and then put in a large roasting tin with the onions.
• Drizzle with the olive oil and roast for 20 minutes, turning the chicken once during this time.
• Mix together the ginger, garlic, honey and chicken stock. Pour over the chicken and add the lime wedges to the tin. Roast for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and glazed.
• Serve with steamed rice, greens and lots of cilantro leaves.

SMOKEY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken in half removing back bone. You will be working with two half chickens.
• Cut three TBSP of butter off the stick and cut those into a small dice.
• Pull back skin on chicken and rub the meat with salt, pepper, and the chopped garlic. Put the diced butter evenly under the skin and put the skin back in place. Season the top of the skin with salt and pepper.
• In a small sauce pan melt the remaining butter, honey, liquid smoke and red pepper.
• Place chicken in a roasting pan and pour half the butter mixture over the top.
• Roast at 375°F for 20 minutes then pour the rest of the butter mixture over the chicken.
• Continue cooking for about 30 more minutes, basting with the pan juices every 10 minutes.
• Make sure the chicken thigh has reached 180°F before removing the chicken from the oven.

HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine the flower and seasonings, plus salt and pepper to taste. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to accommodate chicken in a single layer. Arrange chicken in pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter and add honey, lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger.
• After chicken has baked the 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour sauce mixture evenly over chicken. Bake another 30 to 40 minutes basting frequently.
• Serve over rice. I usually double the sauce ingredients to make more to serve over the rice.

HONEY-GLAZED PEPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Finely grind black peppercorns and 2 Tbsp. pink peppercorns in a spice mill or mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in 5 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt; set seasoning aside.
• Place chicken, breast side down, on a cutting board and use kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone to remove (freeze and save it for stock!). Open chicken and turn skin side up. Press down on center of breast to flatten chicken-you should hear the breastbone crack. Using a chef's knife or cleaver, split chicken in half through breastbone. Pat dry; rub all over with 1 Tbsp. oil. Sprinkle reserved seasoning all over, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
• Coarsely grind remaining 2 Tbsp. pink peppercorns in spice mill or mortar and pestle. Cook chiles, honey, vinegar, and remaining 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture just turns amber in color and is reduced by about half (it should coat a spoon), 10-12 minutes. Stir in pink pepper and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grate. Set chicken on grate, cover, positioning vent over chicken if your grill has one, and grill, turning every 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs registers 120°-130°F, 15-20 minutes. Continue to grill, basting with honey mixture and turning chicken every 2-3 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs registers 175°F and 155°F in the thickest part of breast, 10-15 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board and place skin side up. Let rest 30 minutes before carving.
