\"Honey<\/figure><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This super-simple recipe makes crispy, tender chicken with a perfect, sticky glaze. You may (or may not) remember the Crispy Oven Fried Chicken<\/a> I made a couple of months ago?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, those crispy chicken pieces were scrumptious covered in our honey garlic sauce, so I wondered what would happen if I cooked some chicken pieces right in the sauce without any crumbing or breading. That’s when our easy honey garlic chicken recipe was created!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you may have already noticed, we love <\/em>honey garlic sauce. Overtime, we have created a plethora of recipes which use a similar flavour palette that you’ve all loved<\/em>, like our Easy Honey Garlic Salmon<\/a>, Easy Honey Garlic Pork Chops<\/a> and our Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sauce not only tastes amazing, it’s incredibly satisfying to watch as it bubbles and morphs into a perfectly balanced savoury, sweet, garlicky syrup. The sauce thickens and coats your chicken as it cooks making for delightfully, caramelised chicken pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about this recipe is that the recipe accounts for a generous amount of sauce which means you’ll have extra to pour over your broccoli and rice when you’re finished cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHICKEN BREAST OR THIGH?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, it’s really up to you and your personal preference. For this particular recipe, I prefer to use chicken thighs since dark meat is super moist and packed full of flavour. Although, we also enjoy this recipe with chicken breasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favourite things about this honey garlic chicken recipe is that I usually have all of the ingredients ready to go in my pantry and refrigerator. I incorporated a bunch of staples into this recipe to make it as easy to throw together as possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
