Honey Orange Glazed Chicken is wonderfully moist, easy to make, and the perfect dinner for any occasion.
The holidays are right around the corner and I’m putting together delicious meals. Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week? I’m already starting to prep Christmas cookies. Be sure and check out my Christmas Decorated Sugar Cookies recipe. These make such a great gift for the holidays!
How to roast chicken in the oven:
Step 1: Mix all ingredients for the orange honey glaze in a small bowl. Reserve half in a small bowl to serve with the chicken. Use the rest to baste while the chicken cooks.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 3: Line a half sheet pan with aluminum foil. Place the chicken breasts with the bone-side down on the half sheet pan. Brush with the melted butter, sprinkle with paprika, onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush with a little orange honey glaze. Insert a digital thermometer so you can check the internal temperature.
Step 4: Cook for 30 minutes, then continue to baste with orange honey glaze every 10 minutes until the chicken is done. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved orange honey glaze. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and thyme before serving.
This delicious chicken recipe is also great on a whole turkey for Thanksgiving. Be sure and serve my Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes as a side to this tasty chicken!
Sweet, tangy, and flavorful chicken is wonderfully moist. You’re guaranteed to be licking every bite!
This week I’ll be starting to prep my Christmas Decorated Sugar Cookies and tidying up the house a bit so we can decorate for the holidays. I absolutely love this time of year!

My husband loves the honey gazed chicken, i am surly goin to try the orange honey glazed
This honey orange glazed chicken looks mothwatering! I love finding new recipes that I think my family will love, and this looks not only simple for weeknight meal, but super delicious!
This looks like such a tasty meal. I will have to make this for dinner one night. I think my family will love it!
It looks like a great choice for anyone who likes to eat chicken but they are looky for a tangy change or a zesty approach to cooking.
When I was younger, my grandma used to take my sisters and I to Ponderosa after church from time to time. We always enjoyed the buffet, but one day, my grandma challenged us to try something new. On that day, I ordered the orange chicken and fell in love and then a few months after that, the restaurant closed.
I haven’t had it since, so I am definitely saving this recipe.
Thanks for sharing!
This looks really delicious, and best of all, easy to make!
This chicken looks super yummy and easy to prepare! Can’t wait to prepare it for my family and friends … Thanks to you, I’ll be a real queen in my kitchen! 🙂
This sounds like a great recipe. I am not really keen on roasted chicken, but with this sweet and tangy glazing, I think I would like to try it.
Joanna,
Try it on turkey breast too! So delicious!
I bet my kids would love this! I’ll have to put it in the dinner rotation.
Scheduled a pin. This looks delicious. I’m always looking for new recipes. I swear we eat tacos at least once a week at my house.
This chicken looks like it would be amazing. I have tried an orange glaze before and didn’t really hate it so I would try this again.
OMG this recipe sounds amazing. I rarely cook at home, but this recipe is really motivating me!
I love honey pretty much on anything, and with the citrus, this sounds amazing!
My kids would love this, I will have to try it 🙂
This is a pretty simple meal to make. And that’s what I love about it. It is simple yet very delicious, I know everyone will like it.
Wow, this looks like a lovely meal. It is perfect for the holidays. I am sure it is full of taste and love.
