Honey-glazed baked chicken with red pepper and thyme

Honey-glazed baked chicken is a delightful dish that combines sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavors. The addition of red pepper and thyme adds depth to the recipe, resulting in a delicious and aromatic meal that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

5 chicken breasts
720g
1/2 tbsp olive oil
7g
1/2 onion
54g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 tbsp honey
20g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.90g
1/2 tsp paprika
1.05g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
1/6g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
2 tsp fresh thyme
1.60g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Make the Honey-Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, honey, red pepper, paprika, and cinnamon. Mix well to form a smooth glaze.
4. Coat the Chicken: Brush the honey glaze evenly over all the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. Add Fresh Thyme: Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme over the glazed chicken breasts.
6. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Make sure to leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
7. Bake: Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The chicken should be golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
8. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it's moist and flavorful.
9. Serve: Serve your honey-glazed baked chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor penetration.

- For an extra layer of flavor, sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet for 2 minutes on each side before baking.

- To avoid drying out the chicken, bake at a moderate temperature and use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

This honey-glazed baked chicken with red pepper and thyme recipe is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors, providing a delightful and crowd-pleasing dish. Follow the tips provided to ensure a juicy and flavorful outcome every time. Enjoy your meal!
