Smokey Honey Glazed Chicken Recipes

SMOKEY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken in half removing back bone. You will be working with two half chickens.
• Cut three TBSP of butter off the stick and cut those into a small dice.
• Pull back skin on chicken and rub the meat with salt, pepper, and the chopped garlic. Put the diced butter evenly under the skin and put the skin back in place. Season the top of the skin with salt and pepper.
• In a small sauce pan melt the remaining butter, honey, liquid smoke and red pepper.
• Place chicken in a roasting pan and pour half the butter mixture over the top.
• Roast at 375°F for 20 minutes then pour the rest of the butter mixture over the chicken.
• Continue cooking for about 30 more minutes, basting with the pan juices every 10 minutes.
• Make sure the chicken thigh has reached 180°F before removing the chicken from the oven.

HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN AND BACON BITES

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts-or fillets, as we call them here-in thin strips. Not too thin, the bacon has to brown and if the chicken is too thin it'll get dry before the bacon gets crispy.
• Grab a bowl and combine 3 tbsp honey with 2 tsp coarse mustard.
• Squeeze in some lemon juice. Not too much, about a tbsp or so. I think orange juice will be great, too.
• wrap the bacon around the chicken strips.
• Place them in a roasting tray or on a cookie sheet. If you're afraid of cleaning up, line the tray or sheet with some tin-foil first.
• Brush the chicken bites with half the marinade.
• Bake them in a preheated oven at 425F (225C) for 10 to 13 minutes. Until the bacon is crispy.
• As soon as one side is done, take the tray out of the oven.
• Flip them over and brush them with the remaining marinade.
• Put them back in the oven for another 10 to 13 minutes, until the other side is crispy as well. Keep an eye on them.

SMOKED GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine the first 10 ingredients, bring to a boil, then let cool.
• Add maple extract and liquid smoke.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• Brine chicken for at least 4 hours. Overnight is fine, but no more than 12 hours.
• Remove pieces, rinse in cold water and pat dry.
• Coat with oil and season with Cajun seasoning.
• Prepare smoker and smoke chicken at 230 degrees for about two hours, basting with mop every 30 minutes.
• For the mop: Combine vinegar, water, salt, and pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Remove as set aside.
• When chicken is nearly done, coat with glaze and move pieces to a hot grill to finish cooking and crisp the skin. This will only take a few minutes per side.
• For the glaze: Combine 3 parts butter to one part honey. Make as much as you need to finish the job.
• Remove and serve immediately.
• Have copies of the recipe available, because you will be asked.
