Notes About This Chicken Dish
- You will see in the recipe that I used a whole chicken cut up. At our grocery store, you can buy them this way. If not, you can always ask your butcher or just do it yourself. I quite often cut my own, but this time went for the easy method. If you have never cut up a whole chicken, it really isn’t that difficult and doesn’t requite much skill apart from a good knife. Here a a link on how to do it from Martha Stewart. Click here if you want to check it out.
- You could just as easily use chicken thighs mixed with breast for this recipe. I wouldn’t use just chicken breast though because the chicken will probably be a bit on the dry side.
- Also, I did take the skin off pretty much all the chicken for this recipe apart from the chicken wings. This will give you a less greasy sauce and less fat, obviously. Apart from that, not much else to say about this mid week dinner.
We served it with Basmati rice, but you could choose noodles or even roasted potatoes. And if you love this dish, you need to check out the Honey Glazed Chicken and Carrots that’s made with chicken cutlets.
Overall, we were all pretty happy with this dish and I’m sure we’ll be making it again soon. Got to love a great one pan dinner like this one and my Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner. Enjoy friends and I’ll see you all in a few days with some more kitchen inspiration.
