Step by Step Method

Step 1

Warm the honey slightly (in microwave or on stovetop)

Step 2

Stir in the sherry, cardamom and peppercorns.

Step 3

Place marinade and chicken in a large bowl, coat chicken with marinade.

Step 4

Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 6

Heat oil in a large frying pan at medium heat.

Step 7

Sear the chicken for 20 to 30 seconds, skin side down, until golden.

Step 8

Watch carefully, since the chicken skin goes from browned to charred quickly

Step 9

Place lemon slices in a Pam sprayed roasting pan. Lay the chicken pieces on top.

Step 10

Brush with the marinade.

Step 11

Season generously to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 12

Cover loosely with foil.

Step 13

Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 14

Remove foil and continue to bake for 15 minutes longer (I like my chicken more well done) or until a thermometer registers 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.

Step 15

Check often.

Step 16

If the chicken starts to get too dark (this can happen when using honey), tent with foil.

Step 17

Let rest, tented for 10 minutes.

We loved this chicken! Of course, anything with cardamom is great, and this one really lets it shine. The chicken was beautifully browned due to the honey, and the marinade infused the chicken with amazing flavor (cardamom, again!). Thanks for sharing!
