Honey Lemon Chicken
I don't usually do main dish recipes. But since the theme for this week's Carnival of the Recipes is chicken, I thought I'd pull out one of my mom's favorite recipes.
Honey Lemon Chicken
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup strong lemon tea
1 tbsp soy sauce
flour
8-10 chicken pieces
Coat chicken with flour and lay skin-down in a baking dish. Bake in the oven at 400° F for 30 minutes. Steep lemon tea. In a small bowl, stir together tea, honey, lemon juice and soy sauce. Set aside.
Reduce oven temperature to 325° and turn chicken over. Baste skin with the honey-lemon mixture. Bake for another 30 minutes, periodically basting with mixture scooped up from pan (or just make a double batch of the honey-lemon mixture and only use half to baste the first time.
This recipe is gooey and sweet and entirely delicious. But it's not what you'd call low-fat or healthy. You can eat the chicken without the skin to make it slightly healthier, but frankly, IMO that's the best part. Heh. I just realize the only other main dish recipe I've blogged here is also a chicken recipe.









This sounds like a very tasty chicken recipe. I will have to try it.
