This recipe combines tender baked chicken with a tangy and slightly spicy raspberry soy glaze for a delightful meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Drizzle the chicken with melted butter.
Use a spoon to evenly distribute the butter over the chicken.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Check the chicken halfway through to ensure even cooking.
In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, raspberries, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens.
Stir the sauce frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the oven and drain any excess fat from the dish.
Be careful when handling the hot baking dish.
Spoon the prepared raspberry soy glaze over the chicken.
Ensure the glaze coats the chicken evenly for maximum flavor.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it is fully cooked.
Serve the glazed chicken warm with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
