1/3 cup ketchup

2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar

2 Tbsp. lower sodium soy sauce

Instrucțiuni

Cook chicken until skin is golden brown: Preheat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle chicken on both sides with salt. Place chicken, skin side down, in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Cook over medium-high, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes (chicken will not be fully cooked).

Stir together sauce: While chicken cooks, whisk together honey, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, Worcestershire, vinegar, and smoked paprika in a medium bowl. Set aside, uncovered, until ready to use.

Add sauce and butter to skillet: Pour honey mixture over chicken; add butter to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, turning chicken to coat with honey mixture, until butter is melted, about 30 seconds.

Bake chicken: Arrange chicken skin side up and transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 175°F and honey mixture thickens, 14 to 16 minutes, stirring and basting chicken with honey mixture halfway through bake time. Serve with rice and broccoli, if desired. Garnish with sliced scallions.
