New Zealand Cardamom Honey Chicken

Created by dienia b on August 9, 2024

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.
