For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the butter-honey mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator. If you don't have rose water, you can substitute with a teaspoon of orange blossom water or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. To prevent the almonds from burning, add them during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Serve with couscous, rice, or roasted vegetables to soak up the delicious pan juices.

Jul 21, 2024My chicken was a little dry, so I think I overcooked it. Next time, I'll check the internal temperature more carefully.
