Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: 60 min Total Time: 65 min
Ingredients
3-4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken parts (breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or a combination)
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
1-2 tablespoons water
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Optional garnish: sesame seeds, sliced green onion
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
For easy clean-up, line a roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Place chicken, skin-side up, on prepared pan. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and water.
Spoon about half of the sauce over the chicken and spread liberally on each piece. Set aside remaining sauce.
Bake, uncovered, for about 50 minutes – 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy and golden brown. As the chicken cooks, baste it once or twice with the remaining sauce. The meat should reach an internal temperature of 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
