• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt, divided
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Egg yolk
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) honey

• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) ginger, ground
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) poultry seasoning
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) brown sugar
• 0.5 Tablespoon (tbsp) Dijon mustard

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Rub them with garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and black pepper.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, honey, melted butter, onion powder, ground ginger, poultry seasoning, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
4. Brush the glaze generously over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. Place the chicken pieces, skin side down, in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze every 15 minutes.
7. Just before serving, turn the chicken pieces over to skin side up and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through with juices running clear.
8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Enjoy your delicious honey-glazed garlic chicken with a side of your choice!
