For the honey soy baked chicken recipe, chicken drumsticks are oven baked in savory honey and soy sauce to create a deliciously tasty dish that your family and friends will enjoy. I have made the honey soy baked chicken many times in the past. It is a quick and easy recipe that combines chicken with a healthy carbohydrate to provide a lunch or dinner dish.
What part of the chicken should I use?
You may use any other cut of chicken, such as breasts, wings or thighs. However be aware that different cuts of chicken require different cooking times.
How can I tell when my chicken has been cooked?
A meat thermometer is the most reliable way to ensure that chicken is cooked through. When the chicken is done, insert the thermometer in the thickest or most meaty portion of the bird. The temperature should read 165ºF.
