Recipe: Bake and Baste Chicken

Bake and Baste Chicken (Like Boston Chicken)
From: Gloria Pitzer, The Detroit Free Press, March 10, 1993
Serves 4

1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 chicken breast halves (wash and pat dry)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine canola oil, honey, lime juice and paprika. Place chicken, skin side up, in a 7x11 inch baking dish. Apply mixture to chicken pieces in a single layer.

Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes, basting every 8-10 minutes or until well browned and juices run clear when you cut into the thickest part of chicken. Remove from oven. Cover with foil for 15 minutes. This softens chicken and keeps it hot until served.
