How to cook deliciously - Cardamom Honey Chicken

1. Stage

Marinate the chicken: Warm the honey slightly (in microwave or on stovetop), stir in the sherry, cardamom and peppercorns. Place marinade and chicken in a large bowl, coat chicken with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2. Stage

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

3. Stage

Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large frying pan at medium heat. Sear the chicken for 20 to 30 seconds, skin side down, until golden. Watch carefully, since the chicken skin goes from browned to charred quickly.

4. Stage

Bake: Place lemon slices in a roasting pan. Lay the chicken pieces on top. Brush with the marinade. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover loosely with foil. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer or until a thermometer registers 165°F (75°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken. Check often. If the chicken starts to get too dark (this can happen when using honey), tent with foil.

5. Stage

Let rest: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Pour out drippings from the pan into a gravy boat for gravy.

6. Stage

Serve: Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or couscous.
