Roasted Spiced Chicken With Cinnamon And Honey Glazed Sweet Potatoes Recipes

OVEN FRIED SOUTHERN STYLE CINNAMON HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a large roasting pan lightly with cooking spray.
• Combine the flour with the salt, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, and a pinch nutmeg.
• Coat the chicken pieces well with the flour mixture (you can use chicken with or without skin on - it's up to you).
• Beat together the egg and milk; dredge the flour-coated chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumbs.
• Arrange pieces skin side up (if using pieces with skin) in the sprayed roasting pan, making sure that the pieces are not touching each other (if possible) to ensure they bake crispy; spray chicken pieces with oil spray or sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil and place the chicken in the oven to bake.
• While the chicken is baking, in a saucepan over medium low heat combine the butter, honey, pinches of cinnamon, and lemon juice.
• After the chicken has baked for 25 minutes, pour the butter and honey mixture generously over the pieces.
• Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the juices run clear and the chicken is crisp and brown.
• Note: if you'd like to add a bit of kick to the recipe, you can try a pinch or two of cayenne (to taste) in the honey sauce, or perhaps some red pepper flakes!

HONEY SPICED ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and adjust the racks to the center of the oven. Fit a roasting pan with a V-rack.
• Mix together the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, smoked paprika and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the rosemary sprigs and lemon slices. Place the chicken in the V-rack-fitted roasting pan. Sprinkle the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Tie the drumsticks together using butcher's twine. Brush the outside of the chicken with about half of the honey glaze.
• Transfer the chicken to the hot oven. Roast about 30 minutes, and then brush the glaze on the chicken once more. Continue to roast the chicken until the skin is golden brown and crisp , and an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of the thighs, about 45 minutes longer.

HONEY ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Toss sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup honey, and olive oil together in a bowl until potatoes are completely coated. Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet and drizzle any remaining olive oil mixture over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet, 5 to 10 minutes; dust potatoes with cinnamon. Transfer sweet potatoes to plates and drizzle with remaining honey.
