Ingredients
- 4 chicken leg quarters
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, and Brussels sprouts)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup honey, the juice and zest of 2 lemons, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the chicken leg quarters in a roasting pan and brush the honey glaze mixture over the chicken, making sure to coat evenly.

- Serve the honey glazed lemon garlic roasted chicken with the roasted vegetables, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
The history of Honey Glazed Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables can be traced back to the Mediterranean region, where the combination of citrus, honey, and garlic has long been used to flavor and tenderize meats. This dish has evolved over time, with chefs adding their own unique twists and variations. The succulent chicken is marinated in a blend of honey, lemon, and garlic, then roasted to perfection. The side of roasted vegetables adds a colorful and nutritious element to the meal. This dish is a favorite in many Mediterranean and modern fusion restaurants, where chefs showcase their creativity in combining flavors and textures. For the best version of this dish, look for a restaurant that sources high-quality, organic ingredients and pays attention to the roasting process to ensure the chicken is juicy and flavorful. The key to getting this dish right lies in the balance of sweet honey, tangy lemon, and pungent garlic, as well as the proper roasting of the chicken to achieve a crispy skin and tender meat. Alternatively, some chefs may opt for grilling the chicken for a smokier flavor, adding another layer of complexity to the dish. Whether roasted or grilled, this dish is a delightful combination of savory and sweet, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
