Honey Rosemary Chicken
It’s chicken week this week. I wasn’t able to buy any other type of meat when I went to the grocery so I have no choice but to cook chicken dishes though out the week.
My plans were supposed to be for Hawaiian chicken, but I didn’t have any pineapples. An old cookbook mentioned something about honey chicken, but I couldn’t find the recipe so I created my own.
The sauce turned out to be subtly sweet and the chicken perfectly tender. It kind of looks like it came off the barbecue due to the charred look of the chicken.
You need to watch the chicken closely because the honey makes it brown real quick, same goes for when it’s in the oven. You have to flip it over while baking so it browns evenly without burning.
