Oh my goodness Baked Honey Garlic Chicken is beyond wonderful! Chicken breast pieces are coated in Kikkoman Panko bread crumbs and baked. Then you make a lovely sauce with honey, Tamari low-sodium soy sauce, garlic, onion powder, and Sriracha hot chili sauce. The sauce was breathtaking! Really. It’s pretty hot if you use a full tablespoon and a half of Sriracha sauce. But the honey mellows it out so you are not overpowered by the heat. Stir the sauce into the hot, baked chicken and top with green onions and sesame seeds. Then serve the chicken over rice. Yum, yum, triple yum!

I was making a meal for a family who just had a new baby a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for a main dish that was relatively easy and quick and not a lot of work (like some casseroles tend to be). I saw this recipe on Pinterest that I’ve been drooling over for weeks, so I decided to give it a try. I had everything on hand except the Sriracha sauce and Panko bread crumbs. A guy at the store said warned me that the Sriracha was REALLY hot. But by that time I didn’t have time to change my menu because I was on a time crunch. I decided to go for it.

Instead of using a full tablespoon and a half of the sauce, I used only one tablespoon. It was dynamite. But I decided to drizzle the sauce over the chicken and only on about half of it. That way I saved half of the chicken for the kids in case they wouldn’t eat it with the sauce.

The recipe was so good that I decided to make it again for John and me. Because John doesn’t enjoy things as spicy as I do, I backed the Sriracha sauce down to 1/2 tablespoon. While it was still delicious, it really needed MORE Sriracha to give the recipe the needed heat!!! Personally, I think you need one tablespoon as the bare minimum.

The recipe instructions suggested Kikkoman Panko bread crumbs rather than any other kind. That’s because they coat the chicken more evenly, and the crumbs cook more evenly (even on the bottom) than other bread crumbs. So I used Kikkoman rather than a cheaper brand. The recipe also recommended a low-sodium soy sauce. I can’t stress this enough. You don’t want to be overpowered with salt, so please find a low sodium soy sauce. I used Tamari, gluten free low sodium soy sauce, which is my soy sauce of choice anyway. I especially like it in hummus recipes.

Baked Honey Garlic Chicken is spectacular. Especially if you’re brave and amp up the Sriracha! Seriously! I could eat this chicken dish every week–it’s that good. (This, from someone who rotates food so much that I hardly eat spaghetti more than two or three times a YEAR!)

It took me about 10 minutes to have the chicken ready to bake, and about 10 minutes to throw all the sauce ingredients together and cook them. For me, that’s considered pretty easy. My chicken took longer to bake – closer to 30-40 minutes rather than the 20 recommended. But each oven is different. Even still, this is a pretty quick and easy meal to make. If you enjoy hot foods it’s great to serve for company, too, providing they also enjoy spicy. 😉 Baked Honey Garlic Chicken is elegant as well as tasty!

If you are on the lookout for a sensational chicken dish served over rice, this is it! Get yourself to the store and buy the ingredients for Baked Honey Garlic Chicken immediately. 🙂 Then you will understand why I’m raving so much about this heavenly recipe. I served this dish with Zucchini Parmesan, Baked Corn, Tomato Avocado Mozzarella Salad and Ambrosia Salad for a scrumptious over-the-top meal! Oh, and don’t forget the Chewy Chunky Brownies. There always has to be a dessert. 🙂

Baked Honey Garlic Chicken is amazing.

Baked Honey Garlic Chicken is similar to a Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe. But, instead of the sour vinegar flavor in the sauce, it has a fantastic spicy, hot flavor. In combination with the honey, the sauce is spectacular. (These were leftovers the next day). 

Aren’t you ready to drool over this lovely entree?

In this batch, I only drizzled the sauce over the top, rather than stirring it into the chicken like the pictures above. It was good booth ways.

Here’s what I did.

I used the egg and bread crumbs with the chicken. The green onions and sesame seeds are used to garnish the chicken when finished.

Coat chicken pieces in beaten eggs.

Dredge chicken in Kikkoman Panko bread crumbs.

Place chicken pieces on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, or until fork tender.

I used these ingredients for the sauce, plus water.

Place onion powder and minced garlic in a bowl. Add Tamari gluten free low-sodium soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, water and honey. Stir sauce ingredients to combine.

Cook sauce on top of stove to a low boil. Stir in cornstarch/water mixture.

Bring to a low boil again and allow sauce to thicken. Combine with baked chicken pieces.

You can drizzle the sauce over top like this, then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. (This was from my first batch where I didn’t stir the sauce into the chicken).

Or you can stir the baked chicken pieces into the sauce, then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Either way works, although I preferred it this way so I could have plenty of sauce.

If you enjoy Asian fare, you’ll rave over this amazing chicken entree.
