Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then baste the chicken generously with the broth mixture. Continue baking, basting occasionally every 10 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 30 minutes, but ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (45 minutes)

For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture, or using a hotter variety of jalapeño.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your spice preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
Basting the chicken frequently helps to keep it moist and ensures a flavorful glaze.
Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

    I found the sauce a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll reduce the honey next time.
