01 Step

Recipe View In an oven-safe Dutch oven, combine water, ketchup, sliced onion, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, honey, flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together (approximately 5 minutes). Allow the sauce to cool slightly (about 10 minutes).

Recipe View Turn the chicken breast-side up and continue baking until it achieves a beautifully browned appearance (approximately 15 more minutes). Allow the chicken to rest for about 10 minutes before carving and serving.

For extra flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a sprig of rosemary to the sauce while it simmers.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) into the sauce during the last few minutes of simmering.
Ensure your Dutch oven is truly oven-safe, especially the lid. Some lids have plastic components that aren't heat resistant.

    The chicken was incredibly moist, but I found the sauce a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the honey slightly.

  • Quinton Schroeder

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy and my family devoured it.

  • Andre Stehr

    Perfect weeknight meal. Minimal effort, maximum flavor!

  • Will Crist

    I used chicken pieces instead of a whole chicken and it worked great. Just adjusted the cooking time accordingly.

  • Brennon Connelly

    I added a little smoked paprika to the sauce and it gave it a wonderful depth of flavor. Will definitely make again!
