This revamped cranberry glazed chicken recipe offers a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors that perfectly complement tender chicken pieces. With a quick and easy preparation, it's an ideal dish for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
Place the chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry sauce, unsalted butter, soy sauce, and fresh lemon juice.
Stir until the mixture is well combined and the butter is melted.
Pour the cranberry glaze over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake the chicken uncovered at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, turn the chicken pieces over and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze is caramelized.
Serve the cranberry glazed chicken hot with cooked rice on the side.
