Apple Honey Chicken

By á-6479

Ingredients

• 1 chicken cut into 1/8’s (preferable with skin so it doesn’t dry out)
• 1 cup (up to 1 1/2 cups if necessary) apple juice concentrate
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 Tb fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 3 large green apples, cored and cut into thick rings

Preparation

Step 1

In a small pot, combine apple juice concentrate, honey, lemon juice, brown sugar and cinnamon; mix well. Heat over medium flame until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside 1 cup of this mixture. The remaining sauce will be use for basting the apples.
Place the cleaned chicken pieces in a baking pan. Pour the reserved 1 cup of sauce over the chicken, making sure to cover all the pieces well. Cover the pan and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350. Bake the chicken for 1½ hours, covered and then ½ hour uncovered. The chicken will get a beautiful mahogany color.
To prepare the apples, arrange the apple slice on a baking pan covered with baking paper and sprayed with oil spray. Generously brush them with the basting sauce. Grill for approx 6-8 minutes on each side, basting often. Decorate the chicken pieces with apple slices when serving.
