How to Make CINNAMON CHICKEN Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
1 1?2 cups apple juice (or half juice and half sherry wine) 1?4 cup honey 1?4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 3 lbs chicken pieces (8 pieces total) 2 tablespoons canola oil, approximately 1 lemon, for garnish, cut into wedges
DIRECTIONS
Combine juice, honey, lemon juice, garlic, seasonings in a large ziptop container. Add chicken pieces, seal bag, shake to coat well and let marinade in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. Heat oven to 350F and have ready a large roasting pan, 9" x 13". Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off the excess and set chicken aside on a plate. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and boil until it has reduced to 1 cup and has begun to thicken (about 10-15 minutes). Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken parts over fairly high heat just a few minutes per side, lowering heat if needed to prevent from charring- you want the chicken to be evenly browned, but not fully cooked yet. Place chicken in the roasting pan and pour the reduced marinade on top. Bake 30-55 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and no no longer pink (will vary based on the chicken pieces you use). Skim fat from the pan juices and serve juices as a dipping sauce if you like. Garnish with lemon wedges.
