Instructions
Cook the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger root in a small saucepan over low heat until the honey is melted.
Arrange the chicken in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan, skin side down, and pour on the sauce. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover the pan, turn the chicken skin side up, and raise the temperature to 375F. Continue baking for 30-35 minutes or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh and the sauce is a rich, dark brown.*
Notes
* I check the thickest part of each piece with a meat thermometer to ensure that the temperature has reached 165F. The smaller pieces will cook faster than the breast and you may want to remove them from the pan first.
