Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 390°F Warm the honey so that it is liquid, stir in the the sherry, cardamom & peppercorns.
Step #2 (If you are grinding the spices with a mortar & pestle, be sure to remove the seeds from their pods prior to grinding.
Step #3 ) Place marinade & chicken In a large-ish resealable bag, coat chicken with marinade.
Step #4 Close bag & let sit at about room temp for 30 mins (no longer than that).
Step #5 Heat olive oil In a large-ish frying pan at medium high heat.
Step #6 Sear the chicken, skin side down, until golden.
Step #7 (If you plan to discard the skin, as I do, you can omit this step.
Step #8 Just add an extra 5-6 mins to the baking time.
Step #9 ).
Step #10 Place lemon slices in a roasting pan.
Step #11 Lay the chicken pieces on top.
Step #12 Lightly brush with the marinade.
Step #13 Spice up with salt & pepper.
Step #14 Discard the remaining marinade.
Step #15 (Warning: Do not be tempted to pour the marinade in the baking pan, it will be a mess.
Step #16 ).
Step #17 Place in the oven & bake this until done, approximately 25 mins for breasts.
Step #18 (According to the original recipe it is 20 mins for thighs, wings, & drumsticks, but I found the time for breasts to short so please check for doneness.
Step #19 ) Remove from oven & let rest for 10 mins before serving.
Step #20 Pour out drippings from the pan into a gravy boat for gravy.
