Grandma used to make these all the time, she got the recipe from the Sacramento Bee.
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. garlic salt
Dash fresh ground pepper
1 whole chicken, approximately 3.5 lbs
6 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. soy sauce
Dash ground ginger
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix flour, garlic salt, and
pepper, then coat chicken quarters thoroughly. Put 2 Tbsp. of the butter
in a shallow baking dish just large sufficient to hold the chicken in a
single layer; put dish in oven to heat butter while oven preheats.
Arrange chicken, skin side down, in melted butter. Bake, uncovered, 30
min.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 4 Tbsp. butter with honey, lemon
juice, soy sauce, and ginger. After 30 min remove chicken from oven,
turn skin side up, and cover with butter mix. Continue baking, brushing
occasionally with butter-honey sauce, till chicken is tender and richly
browned (30 to 40 min more). Serve immediately.
