  I have made this several times and the family all enjoy it. You do need to be careful to check the oven regularly because it will quickly burn. A nice easy dish.

  Delicious! Chicken stays moist and has a lovely sticky coating. It is a favourite family supper. One of my favorites too as it is so quick and easy.

  My daughter said it didn't taste very lemony, so will probably try more lemons next time, but it was very nice.

  Really lovely taste. Will become a regular event. I only used 1/2 of the lemon juice but all of the lemon zest and found the lemon just right.

  This was great. I was a bit scared at first, because I'm not the biggest honey fan. Whilst it was cooking in the oven, there was a really strong smell of honey, but once it was on the plate it blended in great and wasn't over-powering. I added two lemons, some peppers and corainder to boost it a bit. It was a really nice, light meal. Will be ideal in the summer with some salad! Mmmm.

  I really wanted to love this, but chicken was dry and cooking juices burnt

  This is one of the first "Good Food" recipes I made when I first became a subscriber in 2003. I have made this so many times. It is suitable for family meals yet special enough for informal meals with friends. It is so easy and works well every time.

  Love this recipe. To save the chicken or suace from burning - add in a glass of white wine to the mixture after it comes out the microwave. Makes it loads more moist and increases the volume of sauce. Not as sticky but really nice!!
