Spicy Honey-Roasted Chicken
3
KDcook
"A weekend favorite, we call this 'sticky' chicken at our house, since the roasted spices and honey form a sticky, sweet and spicy coating during roasting. Wonderful when paired with a fresh green salad!"

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse and pat dry the chicken; place in roasting pan.
- In a bowl, mix together the honey, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Using your hands, rub the honey mixture all over the chicken. Baste chicken with the melted butter.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven until the skin begins to brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Baste the chicken with juices in the roasting pan.
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Baste occasionally during roasting. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

EXCELLENT! I could not find my cumin, so I did have to omit that. Also, I had an orange on it's last leg, so I added the zest to the honey mixture, cut it into quarters and stuffed it inside the...

This was amazing! I used chicken breast and marinated them in the sauce over night, reserving some for basting. I then grilled it on our smoker/grill. I will be making this again!

When it comes to roasting...pan size matters. If your pan is too large your drippings are more likely to burn.

I make a lot of coatings like this.....especially on ribs. The trick is when using honey, you have to do one of 2 things. Keep it covered and uncover the last 20 min of baking to crisp up or use...
