Easy Honey Garlic Chicken
SimplyLiv803
"This chicken is good and garlicky with a hint of sweetness. The honey coating becomes rich, sticky, and crispy in the oven, but if you want to go healthier, remove the skins. This works well in the winter served hot, or make ahead and serve cold at a picnic. It's delicious right away, or for more flavor allow it to marinate over night."

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add chicken; coat thoroughly. Place chicken, skin side down, in a baking pan. Reserve the honey mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from oven. Turn chicken skin side up; baste with honey mixture. Bake, basting once, until chicken is no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 30 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken drumsticks.
- I've used both garlic powder and 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced. It seems to have more flavor with the powder. You can also substitute a mild curry powder for the garlic powder.
- If you choose to marinate the chicken, combine all of the ingredients in a large, resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.

Very simple and subtly delicious! Followed the recipe but I just sprinkled a little pepper on the drumsticks. Recommend covering the pan during the second half of cooking time.

I have to agree with another reviewer quite bland. I marinated all day and flavor hardly existed

It was edible, but bland. I did not marinade it, but have tasted chicken with salt and pepper that had more flavor. I squeezed a clementine instead of the orange juice, and used spicy brown mu...

Easy Honey Garlic Chicken Haiku: "Not bad, but not wow. Marinated all day long, flavor didn't pop." I used 6 drumsticks and halved the recipe, using it as a marinade as mentioned in cook's notes...
