  • This baked chicken recipe can easily be cut in half.
  • You can use chicken legs, thighs, wings, drumsticks or a combination.

Here's how to make it: 

  1. Combine the ketchup, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce and garlic powder in a pot. Bring to a boil then immediately remove from the heat.

You made my day! Love hearing that.
Jacqueline Kamin
Hi! Wondering how this might shift if I only have boneless chicken on hand. Looks delish!
Donna John
Sure! Just reduce the cooking time because boneless cooks faster.

Donna what can I use in place of honey? I just was ready to make it & realized I don't have it.
grammieraine
Also would Worcesterhire sauce replace soy sauce
Donna John
You could use maple syrup or molasses, though it would change the flavor a bit. But would still be delicious! Not sure if Worcestershire sauce would be a great replacement for the soy. There's a lot of soy in it. Worcestershire sauce is used sparingly. Maybe tamari or coconut aminos? Hope that helps! grammieraine
Sherri L Spake
Could you use a whole chicken for this recipe?
Donna John
You could. But because of the high sugar content and whole chicken taking longer to cook, I would cover it with foil. Cover at the end to brown it. Let us know how it turns out!
Lisa B
Can you use an air fryer?
Donna John
I'm not a big air fryer person, though I do have one. I'm sure you could cook it in the air fryer. If you try it, let us know how it turns out.
