The sauce on this honey chicken is like a sweet-tart spin on teriyaki. Everyone who has tried it raves about it—even my husband, who’s not usually a rhubarb lover. —Rachel Beach, Whitley City, Kentucky
Rhubarb and Honey Chicken Recipe photo by Taste of Home
Preheat oven to 400°. Combine flour and poultry seasoning. In another bowl, whisk egg and milk. Dip chicken, 1 piece at a time, into flour mixture, then into egg mixture; coat again with flour mixture.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
For sauce, combine cornstarch and 1-1/2 cups cold water in a large saucepan until smooth; stir in brown sugar, honey and soy sauce. Pulse rhubarb, onion, garlic and remaining water in a food processor until blended. Stir into cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Pour over chicken.
Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted into a thigh reads 170°, 35-40 minutes.
Editor's Note
If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
