Ingredients
  

Meat

  • 53 ounces Chicken Cuts (Tights, Drumsticks, Breasts...) You can use only tights if you prefer juicy chicken cuts.
  • Pepper, Salt and Cayenne Pepper Season the meat according to your taste.

Marinade

  • 1,5 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon
  • Salt and Pepper To taste.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F (or 200 °C).
  • If you bought a whole chicken, cut it in parts, then season the meat with salt, pepper and Cayenne pepper. You can do this step the day before to ensure the juicy meat, but it's also fine if you do it right before baking.
  • Make the marinade using the following ingredients: lemon, Dijon, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well the ingredients.
