1. Put 2 chicken breasts, skin side up in a small baking dish and season.
2. Squeeze the lemon into a bowl and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the chicken, then tuck the squeezed-out half of lemon between the pieces (this will moisten and add flavour to the chicken).
3. Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). Cook until done and richly glazed, basting with the juices at least twice. To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
4. Serve with salad and potatoes roasted with herbs and garlic.

Which Chicken?

If you want the chicken itself to actually have some flavour, start with the best quality. Organic free-range corn-fed chickens have the most taste.

  Easy to make, tasty and quick to roast. I didnt have chicken with skin but as long as you baste it regularly, it came out fine.

  Quick, Easy and very tasty. I added some carrot (chopped into sticks) in the oven dish with the chicken and they also came out nicely.

  Yum yum, I added more soy sauce, sear on the outside to brown and then into the oven with the rest of the sauce. Delicious!

  Lovely easy chicken dish. I only had light soy sauce, and bottled lemon juice, but it still seemed to work well. I used skinless breasts so basted regularly. I also seared the chicken first for a few minutes in a frying pan, but not sure if that was really needed. I served with 'Spicy Roast Potatoes', (which are always on here). Will definitely make again, and wouldn't change the recipe, as it was lovely as it was.

  Simple but tasty. I used boned chicken thighs but left the skin on. The sauce was quite thin, I thought the honey would have made it stickier, but the taste was lovely.
