Chicken is a high-quality lean protein, essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and maintaining a healthy immune system.
This dish provides essential B vitamins like Niacin (B3) and B6, which are crucial for converting food into energy, supporting brain function, and forming red blood cells.

It can be part of a healthy diet. Chicken is a great source of lean protein. To make it healthier, you can use less butter, ensure you use low-sodium soy sauce, and remove the skin before eating to reduce fat content. Pairing it with roasted vegetables and a whole-grain side makes for a balanced meal.
A typical serving of this Honey-Glazed Roast Chicken (about 1/4 of the chicken) contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the size of the chicken and the amount of glaze absorbed. This estimate includes both white and dark meat with skin.
Absolutely! You can use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The cooking time will be shorter, typically around 35-45 minutes. Start glazing the pieces during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place it in an oven-safe dish, add a splash of broth or water, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
This dish pairs wonderfully with classic sides like mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus or broccoli, a simple green salad, or dinner rolls to soak up the pan juices.
