My Husband and son said best ever! I cook chicken a lot and sometimes it gets boring. But when I made this chicken for my husbands friend because it was his birthday, they couldn't stop raving over it! My son said it was the best chicken I've ever made! Awesome!

Unbelievably Scrumptious! My girlfriend and I made this delicious meal tonight for our kids and we all loved it. The kids ate every bite on their plate and the dogs stared with disillusion hoping we might leave them a snack....NOT! A phenomenal recipe with very high marks. We are saving this one. Thanks!

I made it even healthier by substituting honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce, for agave nectar and a little salt. tasted great! My husband usually only likes the breast meat, but loved the legs this time!

Excellent! I made this tonight because I was looking for something different to do with baked chicken. I used skinless, boneless thighs and legs. My family loved it and this is a keeper. This would be fabulous on wings as well. Easy and already had the ingredients on hand!

Great dish! Made this for the family tonight and it was a hit! Very easy. Left the soy sauce out because I didn't have any, and it wasn't missed.

Best chicken ever! My family loved this chicken! It was by far the best tasting chicken I've ever made. We all love it so much and cannot say enough about good things about it. This is a must-try recipe!

Fantastic recipe! I used 5 lbs of chicken instead of 2 (and multiplied all the ingredients by 2.5). It turned out great and I will definitely make this again!

Extremely easy, extremely delicious! Terrific recipe! Could not be easier OR more delicious. I found the times and temps listed in the recipe to be exactly right. (I used fresh chicken tenderloins instead of drumsticks and lemon chicken stir-fry seasoning.) This will most definitely get a place in the rotation!

Yummy! I doubled this recipe and used 4 lbs of split chicken breasts. It was delicious! Even my picky boys loved it! We will definitely make it again.

Best chicken I've ever made! This chicken was delicious. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! It was the perfect sweetness and very tender and juicy. I used the whole leg instead of just the drumstick. I'm making it again tonight!

Yummy! This recipe was very easy to make and my family loved it. It came out very sweet and tasted a lot like orange chicken at a Chinese restaurant

Tasty & easy to ""tweak." This came out very yummy but I did some tweaking for my taste. First, I only used a little bit of butter and oil. Also, after pouring on the glaze, 15 minutes was more than enough. The dark is actually the caramelized sugar.

Love the honey baked chicken! This is a great recipe. It's easy, it's comprised of ingredients that are, at least in my kitchen, staples, and it tastes fabulous! It takes a bit of time to cook but was well worth the wait. The meat was tender, the flavor was consistent and anything but bland. But it was nicely balanced, enough flavor to not be boring for the adults in the family, but not so spicy that my young children would refuse to eat it. This will definitely become a regular menu item at our house! Only concern - how hard it will be to clean the caramelized honey sauce from the baking dish.

A new very tasty way to make chicken! What a great recipe, my family enjoyed it very much and it was so easy to make.
