Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the glaze for later use.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

After the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and place it back on the stove over medium heat.

Once the glaze has thickened, remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
