This Spicy, lemon honey glazed Chicken recipe my friends is insanely delicious and moist. The flavors are out of this world. A blend of citrus sweetness and spice. You tell me can it get any better?. Well maybe.... but definitely not today haha. Can you see the caramelized crispy juicy skin staring us in the face. Oh my!! That there is some delicious awesomeness at it's peak.

This Recipe has a mix of African, Caribbean and Western  all in one. Wherever you are this recipe will surely call your name. Can you see the

Doesn't take much to prepare, just simple ingredients creating bursting flavors.

I find that citrus fruits work well with meats. I appreciated that when I tasted an orange chicken in a Chinese restaurant and I was hooked on citrus meats.

Another fruit flavor that works well with chicken is apple. Check out my apple chicken roast recipe. The type of chicken used in that recipe is different from this and so was the method of cooking. I didn't need to marinade the apple chicken roast.

[bctt tweet="Enjoy this Spicy Lemon Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs. Citrusy and Sweet" username="mydiaspokitch"]

Now because the typical store bought American chicken is soft and tender, it cannot withstand the length of cooking required in the apple chicken roast recipe. Therefore a marinade is key. This ensures all the flavors blend in deliciously before roasting. I marinated the chicken for 1 hour ( because I had some time in my hands) 30 minutes to overnight is good for marinades.

This Chicken is delicious on its own, or when paired with any meal. Lets get to it.

Love,

    […] This post also serves as a recipe hack for coconut jollof rice. Read recipe notes. The good thing about this hack is that you dinner on the table in 30 mins. You can have it with a side of salad, meats, plantains…. just about anything you want to.? Nothing would make this more worthy than my Easy Spicy Barbecue Chicken  or  my spicy lemon honey glazed chicken thighs […]
