New Family Favorite Recipe!

I have a bunch of recipes saved on my hard drive that I have gotten from recipe exchanges on Facebook as well as some I got from blogs...Can't remember where this one came from, but it is as delicious as it is easy so I thought I'd share.

Garlic Chicken
4 Servings
1 hr. 20 minutes  (20 minutes prep)

4 chicken legs-thighs, skin removed (don't use boneless) 
4-6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered (about 5 inch size)
salt and pepper 
12 garlic gloves, peeled
1/4 cup butter 
1/4-1/2 cup honey 

1.  Place chicken in a 13x9 casserole dish with 1/4 cup melted butter 
2.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper
3.  Place potatoes between chicken pieces.
4.  Place garlic cloves between chicken and potato pieces.
5.  Bake in a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes.
6.  Remove from oven, pour honey all over chicken and potatoes.
7.  Set timer for 5 minutes.
8.  After timer goes off, baste the chicken with the pan juices and reset the timer for 5 more minutes.
9.  Repeat basting four more times for a total of 20 minutes.


Both of my kids cleaned their plates tonight!  Riley was skeptical at first, but once he bit into the chicken, he couldn't get enough.  I think I may try it with breast meat next time.  I'm not a big dark meat fan.  I also used red potatoes and did not peel them first.  Hope your family enjoys this as much as mine did!
