In my house, we love chicken. You can depend on it being served at least two or three nights a week without complaint. And this honey soy chicken recipe is hands down one of my absolute favorites.

You can use chicken breasts, chicken thighs, drumsticks, or even wings. Any and all work perfectly and taste amazing. You can choose to use boneless, skinless chicken or go with bone-in, skin-on pieces. Whatever suits you works great.

Ready in 30 minutes, this is one recipe that I turn to time and again that never disappoints. Flavorful and delicious, I can depend on it being one that my whole family enjoys.

As quick and easy as it is to mix up and make, I also love to mix up the honey soy mixture and pour half of it over my chicken to let it marinate throughout the day before cooking. Then, as it cooks, I use the remainder of the honey soy mixture on my chicken. While this is delicious, it isn’t absolutely necessary. The honey soy mixture imparts so much flavor while the chicken cooks!

    I had planned to do pork chops when this came in so decided to go ahead anyway with pork instead of chicken. Worked fine but as another commented, pity sauce is so thin?

    1. Hi Valerie –
      I’ve found that the leaner the meat, the thicker the sauce. The fattier the meat, the more it thins down the sauce. Not sure if that is the case with your pork chops, but could be. Thanks!

    1. Coconut AMINOS 🙂

      It’s a soy-free seasoning sauce 🙂

    I made this tonite. Realized I did not have a skillet that could go in the oven (rubber handles) so I just left it on the stove to cook for about 30 min. After about 20 min the sauce thickened and it was delicious.
