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.
