Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Heinz 57 sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken pieces

Instructions

  2. Brush chicken pieces with melted butter.
  3. Brush the chicken with the honey and sauce mixture.

Tips & Substitutions

For a deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate in the honey and Heinz 57 mixture for a few hours or overnight. If you're out of Heinz 57, a mix of barbecue sauce and Worcestershire sauce can serve as a great substitute. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for perfect doneness.

Serving Suggestions

This Honey Spice Glaze Chicken pairs beautifully with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside mashed potatoes or rice. Consider using the chicken in a sandwich, like a Grilled Chicken Breast On Sourdough, for a tasty lunch option.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through, ensuring to cover it with foil to keep it moist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use skinless chicken for this recipe?

Yes, skinless chicken can be used, but it may require extra care to prevent drying out. Consider marinating longer and basting more frequently during cooking to keep it moist.

Absolutely! Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the chicken in a greased dish for about 25-30 minutes, basting with the glaze halfway through for added flavor.

Can I make this recipe in advance for a gathering?

Yes, you can prepare the chicken with the glaze ahead of time. Simply marinate it and store in the fridge, then cook it on the day of your gathering for the best flavor and freshness.
