Ugly Naked Chicken

Recipe #40106 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

The sweet tangy sauce this chicken cooks in results in delicious, sweet, slightly sticky chicken that is just delicious. It may be the ugliest chicken you've ever seen (especially if you skin the chicken first, as I usually do), but it sure does taste good.I usually grab a "family pack" of select chicken parts or I use drumsticks and yank off all the skin with the help of kitchen shears. A serving is two pieces each. I originally found this in one of my favorite community cookbooks, "Enough to Feed an Army" years ago. This is my adaptation and I gave it the name "Ugly Naked" based on my method of skinning the chicken.

SERVES 4 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. 2
    Place chicken pieces in a 9x13" casserole sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. 3
    Generously sprinkle chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
  4. 4
    Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
  5. 5
    Meanwhile, in a microwaveable bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, butter, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice and heat on HIGH power for about 30-45 seconds, or until butter melts and you can easily stir ingredients together- watch carefully so you don't overheat it and end up with a melted butter mess in your microwave.
  6. 6
    After chicken has baked for the 40 minutes, pour the honey mixture all over the chicken and bake another 10 minutes, flip chicken over, bake another 10 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked all the way through and is tender.
  7. 7
    Note: If you prefer your chicken"dressed," go ahead and leave the skin on.

SUperb! I cooked mine in a slow cooker. I turned the chicken twice so as to get the great colour. My family and I went nuts for it. TY! P.S. i tried making it in the slow cooker but with 3/4" pork chops, it is to die for! TY for a versatile recipe.

    Sorry to go against the grain here, but this was just okay for us. Although we ate it tonight and will eat the leftovers tomorrow, I don't think I would make it again. Thank you for sharing.

    So, everything's on the table for dinner and my 20 yr old son walks into the room. "What's for dinner?" "Ugly naked chicken," I say. I get THAT LOOK. "Hey, I don't make these things up," I tell him. "You're all on crack," he announced...and then proceeds to demolish the dinner. He wolfed it down! (So did hubby and I, too.) So, despite the name giving him cause to wonder at the sanity of us all (LOL), dinner was a huge hit. I used skinless boneless breasts and so cut the oven time back. I only used 6 breasts, but kept the sauce amount the same (DH and I like lots of sauce, anyway). This was so easy to prepare, with simple ingredients. When the chicken was done, I poured all the sauce into a pan, brought it to a boil and then thickened it with a wee bit of cornstarch dissolved in cold water, then strained the sauce (to get out the chicken bits) into a gravy boat. Served it with rice and broccoli; there wasn't a speck of anything left. Thanks so much for posting this, Heather; I've found a new family favourite!

    This is truly a 5 star recipe with out a doubt! This chicken tastes exactly like the Jack Daniel's Chicken recipe used by TGI Friday's, which we do love! I used freshly ground pepper, the juice of one whole large lemon (about 1/3 cup) and used a small saucepan to combine the sauce and melt the butter. I left the skin on for the cooking process and removed it for serving. This chicken very well may be "UGLY", but it SURE IS DELICIOUS!! DO NOT DISCARD this sauce!! Save it to serve with the chicken in a small dipping bowl!! I've already been told to put this recipe at the top of my list to make again!! We enjoyed this so much, Heather! Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe!!
