Honey garlic recipe is pretty common out there.  It looks like Chinese food.  But it is more like a Chinese fusion recipe.

People nowadays are super busy.  The world goes around us too fast.  You most probably love multi-tasking, just like I do.  That means doing several things at the same time, right?  That's what I always like to utilize my oven to get the job done.

Use boneless skinless chicken thighs will cut down the cook time in half.

CHEF NOTES

In this recipe for baked chicken, it does show you when the rice should start cooking.  However, if you want to keep your carb consumption as low as possible, it is totally ok to skip the rice part.  If you have a big crowd to feed, the steamed white rice will surely help you to bump up the volume of this Chinese dinner.

I did use boneless skinless chicken thighs to make this chicken recipe once.  If you choose to do that, cook time needs to cut in half.  Otherwise, the meat will be dry out.

Use bone-in skin-on chicken thighs will keep the meat very moist.

Ingredients
5-6 lbs Bone-in Skin-on Chicken Thighs
3 lb Frozen Broccoli Florets
No-stick Cooking Spray

Marinade
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Ginger Powder
1/2 cup Raw Honey
1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 tsp Salt

1 splash of Superior Light Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Dressing
2 tsp Minced Garlic
1/3 cup Raw Honey
1 tbsp Superior Light Soy Sauce
1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Minced Ginger

Directions

1. Transfer bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs into a big mixing bowl.

8. Turn chicken over and cook for another 40 minutes until it is thoroughly cooked through.  At the same time, slide in the roasting pan of broccoli into the oven. The chicken and broccoli will be cooked together at this time.
9. If you plan to serve with white rice, start its cooking process now.
10. About 15 minutes before the chicken is out of the oven, combine all ingredients of the dressing in a medium sauce pan and simmer.
