Instructions
Creating this Honey Garlic Chicken Dinner Recipe for Halloween is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ginger (if using), and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Bake the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the reserved marinade over the top.
6. Cook: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Glaze the Chicken: For a caramelized finish, switch to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, watching closely to avoid burning.
8. Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
