Lemon Honey Chicken
Lemon & Honey, some may think honey in a chicken, that's weird. but i am telling you, it is not at all weird, its heavenly. In this recipe honey doesn't give overall sweetness like it gives to pastries and cakes. It somehow cuts the tanginess of the lemon and balances the whole lot. It also helps the chicken go wonderfully caramelize and makes it finger licking good. I hope you got my point..

Thanksaarti but can u tel us how to prepare in tawa i ve oven but each oven temperature is diff from othersz that z y
Aarthi
@deepalordThis cannot be made properly in tawa, because since it has honey it can burn easily. If you want to make, just place it in hot grill pan or tawa, and cook on a very low heat till it is caramelized.

Hi Aarti
The best recipe. I loved the caramelized chicken. I don't like honey but even though I used half the amount of honey, the flavour was excellent. God Bless..

Hi Aarthi, The recipe looks really easy to try however I am struggling with using my new OTG (Morphy Richards 52RCSS - http://amzn.to/1QsF8wN which has max temperature 230 degree C). Can you please elaborate on the mode, temperature and timing of the OTG for this chicken. Thanks
