Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey, white wine, and curry mixture for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have white wine, chicken broth or a splash of apple cider vinegar can work as substitutes. Consider using chicken thighs for a juicier result, as seen in Curried Chicken Thighs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken breasts for this recipe?
Yes, you can use boneless chicken breasts; however, reduce the roasting time as they will cook faster. Start checking for doneness after 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Keep an eye on the glaze to prevent burning.
What can I substitute for honey if I want a different sweetness?
If you're looking for an alternative to honey, maple syrup or agave nectar can be used as substitutes. They provide a similar sweetness and flavor profile, allowing you to customize the dish while maintaining its essence.
How can I make this recipe spicier?
To add more heat, consider incorporating red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper into the glaze. You could also serve the chicken with a spicy dipping sauce or a side of pickled vegetables for an additional kick.
