🍽️ How to Make It :

1️⃣ Prepare the Honey Garlic Marinade:

In a bowl mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, paprika,

salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thoroughly. This builds

sweet savory roasted chicken, sticky honey garlic glaze,

and flavor-packed dinner goodness.

2️⃣ Roast the Chicken:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken on a

baking sheet and roast 35–40 minutes, brushing with

extra marinade halfway through. This creates juicy

roasted chicken, crispy golden skin, and restaurant-style

roasted flavor.

3️⃣ Cook the Rice:

Prepare white rice according to package instructions until

light and fluffy. This gives you perfect steamed rice,

classic dinner side, and a balanced meal base.

4️⃣ Toss the Fresh Salad:

In a bowl combine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and red

onion. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season

lightly. This adds fresh crunchy salad, healthy garden

side, and bright refreshing flavor.

5️⃣ Plate & Serve:

Serve the honey garlic roasted chicken with steamed rice

and garden salad. Now you’ve got a balanced chicken

dinner, easy healthy comfort meal, and a crowd-pleasing

family plate.
