My sweet and hot Spicy Baked Chicken recipe is one I keep coming back to. It’s such an easy dish to pull together for a mid-week dinner but has a complex blend of spicy and sugary notes that make it really tasty.
The sauce works in two ways – first, you baste the chicken in it before baking and then you spoon it over at the end so the chicken is slathered in this rich, sticky coating. By baking the chicken for just the right amount of time you ensure it comes out juicy and moist. It goes really well with a side of rice or vegetables and is a great way to get a hit of protein that’s also super tasty!
To make Spicy Baked Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large rimmed baking tray or dish.
Add all the ingredients to a large pan, mix together and bring to the boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes over a medium heat.
Meanwhile, sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breasts. Heat a little oil in a skillet and cook the chicken for a couple of minutes on each side until they have started to brown.
Lay the chicken breasts out on the tray or dish. Brush them with the sauce (reserving the remaining sauce to serve). Put in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and divide between plates. Ladle the remaining sauce over the top and serve.
