Easy sticky lemon-turmeric chicken
Description
This recipe starts by seasoning chicken thighs with salt and browning them in an oven-proof pan to develop color and flavor. Meanwhile, a glaze combining honey, lemon juice, ground turmeric, curry powder, and black pepper is prepared. After browning, the glaze is poured over the chicken, and the pan is transferred to a preheated oven. The chicken bakes for about 30 minutes, during which the glaze is basted every 10 minutes. This process thickens the sauce into a sticky coating while cooking the chicken through.
The final dish offers tender meat with a balance of sweet honey, tart lemon, and aromatic spices complementing the chicken’s richness. The sticky glaze adds both texture and visual appeal.
This baked chicken can be served alongside rice, vegetables, or salad for a complete meal.
