Recipe by SimplyLiv803 This chicken is good and garlicky with a hint of sweetness. The honey coating becomes rich, sticky, and crispy in the oven, but if you want to go healthier, remove the skins. This works well in the winter served hot, or make ahead

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
