Ugly Naked Chicken
By: HeatherFeather
Sep 13, 2002
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
Ingredients
- 8 pieces bone-in skinless chicken
- garlic powder, to taste
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup honey
- 1/8 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/8 cup worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 cup lemon juice
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.2
Place chicken pieces in a 9x13" casserole sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.3
Generously sprinkle chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste on both sides.4
Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes.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
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
Note: If you prefer your chicken"dressed," go ahead and leave the skin on.

Well have to admit to tagging this recipe for its name and after reading the intro for here in Australia SKINLESS chicken drumsticks/legs are called LOVELY LEGS, I just thought two opposites were a marriage made in heaven. For the sauce though for dietary reasons I only used 1/2 cup honey and I initially baked the 8 drumsticks (for 3) at 175C fan forced for 25 minutes and then turned and poured the sauce over and baked for 10 minutes and then turned again and baked for a further 15 minutes and for us it was perfection with the chicken just about falling off the bone but not quite. Served with Sesame Green Beans and Packet Potatoes. Next time I would consider serving with rice and thickening the sauce (sfter straining) with corn flour /cornstarch and serving over the the chicken and the rice. Thank you Heather Feather, made for ABC Healthy Choices.

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!!
