A succulent, moist, easy-to-make chicken.

Honey Garlic Chicken with Rosemary

butter

garlic powder

rosemary

salt and black pepper

honey

chicken thighs

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper; simmer until flavors combine, about 1 minute. Stir in honey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Dip chicken into sauce, 1 piece at a time, until coated. Place chicken on a 9x13-inch baking pan; pour remaining sauce over chicken.


Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven; immediately turn over chicken with tongs to coat the top with sauce.


Great for busy family; easy prep with few ingredients. I broiled for last few minutes in oven to crisp n brown chicken. Also,  I poured off the juice into saucepan on stove on high heat, mixed 1/4c milk n 2T cornstarch in  small bowl, then added that once juice boiled. Boil until desired thickness of sauce, then pour over now-rested chicken.

This was ok, not special or something I will add to my regular rotation made as written. The picture is misleading in that it shows a crispy skin and the recipe states skinless. The sauce was flavorful but runny, not sticky. Everybody ate it. No complaints, but no raves either. If I make it again, it will be with major changes that render it a different recipe.  BTW, why in the world are there so many reviews by folks who have not made the recipe? It skews the rating &amp; is a disservice to fellow cooks who want to try it. I wish Allrecipes would screen &amp; eliminate these reviews.

I love recipes that are this delicious and require minimal time, effort and ingredients! I browned my chicken thighs on the stove with a bit of oil first, then poured the sauce over top and put in the oven for 25 min. I used 1 clove of minced garlic instead of powdered. Family loved it, even my picky 6 year old.

I thought the amount of honey &amp; garlic powder  sounded like too much for six pieces of chicken so I changed it up a little. I browned the chicken first in 1 Tbls of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet, then I remove the chicken, added the butter, rosemary, 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic and 1/3 cup of honey to the pan,  stirred that around for a minute to combine, added the chicken back in and turned it in the sauce a few times  until it was well coated. Then I popped the skillet into the oven at 350° for 30 minutes. It came out moist, beautifully browned with a nice sticky coating and very tasty. I served it with some stir fried Asian style veggies and steamed rice. Very good dinner!

I made this using the recipe as directed, except I also added some lime juice to cut the sweetness down. I used chicken thighs with skin on and dipped them into the mixture and placed in a cast iron skillet. I then poured the sauce over the thighs. I baked at 375 for 45 minutes because the thighs were large and then broiled for a few minutes until the skin was crispy.

Simple and delicious! Wasn't sure if I was supposed to use fresh or dried rosemary (doesn't specify), so I used dried (a little less than called for, b/c like I said, I wasn't sure) and that worked out great. The whole family enjoyed this. I used some skinless legs too for the kids. A definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

So good!  I followed the instructions as written, but with 5 skinless chicken breasts.  Turned out wonderful over a bed of steamed rice!

I loved this recipe- I had on hand all the ingredients and only had to get the chicken!  The only advice I have is to cook the chicken at a little lower temperature for a longer amount of time so that it's well cooked- tasted great!!

The five stars are for the ease of the recipe.
The next is the end results  of everyone loved it. Even my picky chicken eaters(those breast people)loved it; so I knew I had a hit. Will be doing it again,thanks.

I made this dish and it was great. I made it with a couple of changes, first I mixed the butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder and added additional seasoning like sazon, adobo &amp; parsley after these sizzled I added the honey and dipped the chicken breast. I then cut up potatoes and boiled some green beans and added them to the same pan then poured the remaining mixture onto everything in the pan let it cook at 400 for an hour and a half.

I thought this was incredibly yummy. I didn't have any rosemary so I had to substitute thyme for it, otherwise I followed the recipe as written. I used dried since it didn't say what kind to use. It had a delicious sweetness to it due to the honey, however, I couldn't taste the garlic at all. I definitely plan on making it again but I would add a clove or two of crushed garlic instead to give it a stronger garlic flavor. I followed another reviewer's suggestion by making a sauce with the leftover juices with a milk and cornstarch mixture. To die for fantastic!

Easy to follow recipe. Taste very good.  Worth the try!

Very easy and very good!  I drizzled the pan sauce over the chicken before serving. Yum!

I followed the recipe exactly since this was my first time making it and it came out delicious! I plan on making it again.

I made this tonight and it was delish! I browned the chicken first and I didn’t have any rosemary on hand so I substituted with Thyme and it turned out great. I think next time I’d add some fresh garlic to the mix but all in all it was very tasty.

This was delicious. I used  fresh rosemary and garlic (micro-planed it) and a little bit of granulated garlic. I also used bone-in and skin thighs, seasoned with salt and pepper,  browned them first, and poured the sauce over it, basting a couple of times while in the oven. Served with mustard greens and wild rice with mushrooms.

so I made this tonight for dinner did it a little differently I combined everything and set the chicken in it and let it marinate for about 11 hours and it came out superb

This was really good.   Did take others advice and browned chicken first, but otherwise followed as directed and it was really quick, easy and tasty

This was sooo yummy. Perfect timing for tenderness and sauce was delish also served on a bed of brown rice. Wish I had rosemary but thyme worked well as a substitute. Great recipe.

Sticky savory sweet chicken! Turned out so well and it was a hit with the family. Will make this again for sure. We smoked our chicken first with hickory before finishing off with the yummy glaze in the oven.

my picky eater kids..totally loved it..they even suggested i make this for dinner everyday... i added minced garlic to give it texture.. goes great with steamed rice

Super fast and yummy weeknight dinner.  Chicken was very moist.  I will probably use fresh garlic next time instead of garlic powder just for a better flavor. Served it with rice.  The kids gobbled it up.

Delicious!  I took the skin off the thighs, made the sauce around noon, let it cool completely then poured it over and under the chicken in the pan.  Let it sit in the refrigerator until an hour before baking  and took it out to warm up. After turning the chicken over, baked as directed.  Poured the sauce into a gravy boat and served it with rice.  Clean plates all around.

This recipe was fantabulous! It will become a family staple in my home. Quick, easy, and so so soooo delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Loved this receipe and so did my partner! It was a tad sweet, but this is a new household favourite!!
I will be making this again.

Delicious and super easy. Changes I made were to use chicken breasts and fresh garlic. Will make often. Served with fried rice and corn on cob.

What a great way to prepare chicken thighs. All the  greats, garlic, honey, rosemary. Over rice.

This is an easy and yummy recipe. I used fresh garlic, added thyme,  and wings instead of thighs. Loved it and will definitely make it again.

This came out pretty good. I followed the recipe as written. The only modifications I did was adding 1 tsp of dried rosemary instead of 2 tsp and I added 2 TBSP of minced garlic instead of the 1.5 TBSP of powdered garlic. I thickened up the left over juice with milk and cornstarch (eye ball how much to put in otherwise the juice will get too thick)

It was great added a little more sweet I'll make it again

This came out really well followed all directions however made with skinless boneless chicken breasts instead. the sauce really can be used on any chicken you are baking in the oven. definitely make sure to add salt and pepper to cut into the sweetness. We used dried rosemary.

I made it exactly like recipe stated with 6 skinless chicken thighs even though photo shows skins on.   My family did not like it at all.  The 3 chicken thighs left over went in the trash.

As is the recipe is nothing special, but is quick and easy.

It was an AWESOME HIT with the family, THANKS!!

I followed the recipe for the sauce, except I added some fresh garlic. I chopped up chicken breast, cooked it on a skillet until fully cooked &amp; browned. Added the chicken to the sauce and served with rice, green beans &amp; sliced water chestnuts. Wonderful!!!

This was really easy to make, and quite tasty. I didn't have any fresh or dried rosemary, so I used the pure essential oil of rosemary by Young Living in the sauteed butter with minced garlic instead of the powder form. I also added half of a medium sweet onion lightly chopped to the mixture. It is great with brown rice and quinoa to accompany it.

Love it! Just the way it is. To make it a little healthier the second time, I used olive oil instead of butter, and reduced amount of honey.

so good; juicy;   the only thing that I added was Shredded cheddar cheese and Paprika at the end and boiled it for a few minutes.  It was even better the next day.

My family really enjoyed this. It was so easy to prepare and the sauce was yummy! I served it with angel hair pasta but brown rice would have been good too.

Awesome, super easy, fast and kids loved it.  Didn't have to fight them to eat it.

Really good and easy!  I used chicken breasts and they were terrific!

I don't know if it was the honey I used, but the honey flavor was overpowering and you couldn't even taste the garlic powder or rosemary. There are other similar recipes on this site that I will make instead next time.

Followed the recipe as is and it turned out great! My chicken was nicely baked (golden brown with some nice “charred”) spots on the chicken when I baked it.  I didn’t take any photo but next time I will. I saw this receipe and last minute decided to make it.  The chicken had a nice flavour to it.

a little less garlic and it was perfect gone in less than 5 minutes my family and i loved it.

Tonight i decided to make this recipe and follow it exactly as instructed.  Did not fail!  Very flavorful, so good, moist.  Definitely will be making this again.   Even our kids approved.  ****In response to a comment about the chicken not being crisp:  Raise your heat to 450 for 10 mins.  That's what I did for crispy skin.

Very easy and quick recipe, but it's too sweet for me.  It needs something to spice it up.

Very easy recipe which came out delicious.  Broiled the chicken for a few minutes at the end and thickened the sauce at the end my combining  1/4 cup of milk and 2 tbs of corn starch.  Heated the remaining juice from the pan in a small saucepan and added the milk and cornstarch and heated until thickened.  Will definitely be making this again!

such a fan of this recipe! and super easy to create!

This looks tasty- but I would recommend adding crushed cloves of garlic and a liberal amount of tamari. Look for the real deal if you’re not already acquainted. Noting at all like the caramel colored salt water most people know as soy sauce.
Place all in a heavy duty plastic bag-at least overnight. Especially important if you plan on grilling outside.

The only changes I made was I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.  The whole family loved it!

this was so delicious! my spouse loved it, thank you so much for posting this... !!!!

Love this recipe! Easy and very adaptable. My husband has high blood pressure so I omitted the salt altogether. Instead of rosemary I use club house garlic plus herb blend. I also sear the oieces of chicken in the saucepan before transferring to the oven to bake. Great flavor. And because I sear it, it does look like the photo above.

I doubled the ingredients for 10 thighs but realized I needed less butter and honey when it was all said and done.  The sauce needed to be thicker.  Could have reduced it some but feared it may get a burned taste.  I'll tweak it for our liking.  It turned out wonderful and yes we'll make it again......maybe this week.

Better than other honey chicken recipes, but things never come together like I think it should. There really wasn't much "glaze" over the chicken, which is what I'm looking for. Also the rosemary is a distraction from the chicken unless you can grind it up some 1st.  The only change I made was to add more honey as other suggested &amp; I used chicken breasts instead of thighs (personal preference). Won't make again.

This was a fantastic recipe. Followed exactly...quick weekday meal; served with saffron rice and baby-peas.....yummmmmm

My husband loved it.  I did as one reviewer suggested and put the chicken under the broiler to brown a little.  Put the sauce in a pan while the chicken was under the broiler and mixed 1/4 cup milk and a little corn starch and added it to the sauce to make a thick gravy.

No changes whatsoever! Very moist and dlish

The thighs were so moist and tender and the flavor was great.  I will make them again but use more garlic because the sweetness from the honey masked the garlic flavor and we do love garlic!

This chicken was delicious I will be making it again and again

I followed the recipe, except used boneless skinless breasts instead of bone-in thighs.  Absolutely fantastic!    My family can’t wait to have them again

Excellent. Next time I will add a little less Rosemary. The stuff I have is a little more over powering.

I used bone-in thighs with skin and baked them for an additional 15 minutes.  The chicken browned nicely like the photo.  I plan to reduce the sauce by half next time.

I used boneless chicken breasts. It was delicious. I definitely will make again

Followed suggestions to brown chicken first, then followed recipe. Delicious!

I baked it in a convetion oven for 30 minutes. Perfect. No other adjustments.

Great recipe. I prefer to remove the skin but the taste was still there.

My husband and daughter really liked this and I did have high hopes for it because of all of the good reviews, but I just thought it was too sweet. Maybe reduce the amount of honey and figure out something to add to reduce the sweetness?

Good flavor, we love garlic and rosemary, but something was missing... just not sure what. Will make it again though!

I used fresh garlic and added a little soya sauce. Very tasty!

Great recipe. I followed all the steps and it turned out perfect, my family just loved it!

I will definitely make this again,  my family loved it !!!!!!

Made this last night in a rush.  Cooked on the range on low instead of the oven.  Tossed in some carrot chunks (1" or so) and some broccoli on top.   Cut the recipe down to thirds as only had a few thighs.   Cooked on low for about 15 minutes.  Flipping chicken every 5 or so.  Girlfriend loved it.

I absolutely enjoyed making this dish, the rosemary is kind of strong so I had to remake the sauce a second time I also added a little lime juice to the sauce

made as-is minus rosemary, did not have any, used thyme, broiled for 3 mins at end nice and crunchy. definitely will make again. (honey I had came from a friend hive-awesomeness)

I'm vegetarian so this was for Todd.  He even made it!  Halved the garlic powder and used boneless skinless thighs.  Came out great.

Used garlic salt and so I didn’t use the regular salt. Didn’t have only Rosemary, but had a blend with garlic that worked wonderfully with it. Cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this sauce and then, used the liquid to create a glaze. I loved it!

Turned out great. I did use fresh rosemary from my garden  and fresh garlic,  because that always makes it a taste better. I did have to cook it longer for 39 min, and next time I will broil it to get a crispy top.

One of the best i’ve made. Used less honey because my significant other doesn’t like it a lot. He loved this chicken so much he wants me to make it again tomorrow. We paired this with a potato medley seasoned with pepper, salt, and rosemary. Perfect.

We loved this! I substituted the thighs for boneless skinless chicken breast, and paired it with "Asparagus and Cashews" here on all recipes by Shelly Domke. The chicken did take an extra 15-20 minutes to fully cook. We served this all over some steamed white rice. Delicious! We'll definitely make this again!

Good idea to reduce honey sauce towards the end and let it broil afterwards to get a bit crispy.

This may be my absolute favorite recipe so far on this site. I have made it quite a few times with my own tweaks. I don't like rosemary, so I stick to butter, fresh grated garlic, honey, and salt and pepper. I use bone in/skin on thighs and season skinless side with garlic/onion powder and salt and pepper on both sides. Like other reviewers, I also brown the skin before it goes in the oven and then thicken the sauce on the stove with some corn starch. I just make it to my own tastes and it is wonderful

I added red wine vinegar to the sauce, next time I'll use balsamic. It was good, I wish I would've read the reviews and drained the sauce to make is crispier.

Fixed it just as recipe calls for except for rosemary, which we don’t like. Substituted clinatro.  Served with a mixed veggie mix with mini bow tie pasta from Schwanns. Yummy.

So good! followed directions to the T except at the end I broiled them for 1-2 mins to get the skin crisper. the sweetness of the honey with the rosemary came together beautifully :)

I used two cloves of minced garlic instead of powder. A dried sprig of fresh rosemary instead of powder and cooked it on the BBQ in a foil pan. Served with grilled asparagus and rice it was amazing

I made this and my family ate this but no one raved about it. It was easy to prepare.

Super easy to make as written. Very tasty - hubby asked for it to go into the rotation. He has declared that it may now be in his top 3 favorite meals.

Quick and easy to make! I used 4 chicken thighs rather than 6 and used just a little less rosemary than directed as it was my first time using it. Turned our pretty well, I put the oven on broil to get the skin crispy. No complaints, but not a roaring favorite. Will surely make again because I did love how quick and easy it was to make.

This was a great recipe. It was easy to complete and tasted terrific. I will definitely be making this one again!The only change (if you could call it that)  I made was using boneless, skinless thighs as my family doesn’t like to mess around with them.

The only change I made was I put fresh garlic it was amazing.

I made this recipe as written. I used dried rosemary and bone less thighs because I didn't read the instructions before making my grocery list. We ended up inviting a friend over for dinner last minute. Everyone really enjoyed this dish, and it was easy for a weeknight meal. We will make this again.
