Honey Baked Chicken

Looking for a new chicken recipe with a flavorful kick? Honey Baked Chicken is easy and different, and especially tasty with herbed chicken cous cous. Bon appetit!

Chicken (we used boneless chicken breasts, 2-3 lbs., cut into pieces)
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 tbsp honey
4 tbsp margarine/butter, melted
1/4 tsp ground black pepper (we used paprika)
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
2. Rub chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with honey and butter or margarine, then brush this mixture over chicken pieces. Place chicken pieces, skin side down, in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F for 45 to 60 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, basting with remaining butter or margarine. Just before serving, turn chicken over and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes to cook the skin on the other side.

Note: We cut the chicken breasts in half (to make them thinner), bumped the temp up to 350, and baked for 30-35 minutes. We turned it about halfway through and it turned out great. Flavorful, juicy, and best of all, easy! Inspired by recipe at http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/honey-baked-chicken-i/Detail.aspx We'll definitely make this one again :) P.S. I'm loving this blog! Can't wait to keep reading everyone's recipes and try some of them out myself.
