Jalapeno Honey Chicken
Now I love me some sweet and spicy. And, that’s what jalapeno honey chicken is. The heat of the jalapenos are tempered by the sweetness of the bee’s honey.
Jalapeno Chicken Marinade
Making a jalapeno chicken marinade was the quest. And, what better way to do it than with coconut milk. Then into that went all the spices and seasonings. This marinade would be the broth and liquid boost that the chicken would bathe in as it cooked.
Honey Baked Chicken Recipe
And, if you’ve never added a dash of fish sauce to anything, let alone, a honey baked chicken recipe, you might not realize that a little bit of this ingredient goes a long way with flavor.
Best Fish Sauce
Don’t think fish sauce is just used in cooking ‘fish’! Yes, you can use it with other dishes, too.
Fish sauce is a savory salty ingredient. It’s one of those ‘umami’ ingredients that makes things like pad thai pop! You can use it to pack power and punch to soups, stews, vegetables, condiments, salad dressings and more. And, boy, does it do it with this chicken!

Can you make a bunch of this and freeze it for later? I made this for dinner with diced chicken breast tenderloin and it was so good I put it over rice and had two bowls.
Hi, Brandi! I love the idea of chicken breast diced and served over rice. Yes, you can freeze it, luv! xoxx ally
Hi Ally! The recipe looks great. I’m not a fan of coconut milk. Any suggestions for a substitute? Thank you.
Hi, and thank you! Honestly, you don’t even know it’s coconut milk once it bakes w/all the ingredients. So you might want to try. Otherwise, you could try another type of plant based milk, like almond. Or you could use half and half (half cream and half milk). Again, I hope you reconsider and try the coconut milk. I don’t think you’ll realize that you do like it! xoxx ally
Can you make this into a slow cooker recipe?
Hi, Jesse, I’ve not done it but I think you can. Cooking time would be adjusted depending upon your slow cooker setting. Please let me know if you try it. I’d love to include you edits for a slow cooker version! xoxx ally
Hey Ally, does it matter which kind of fish sauce for this recipe? (Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino)
Best to Ya….Marcia
Marcia, luv! I’ve got some options at here at my Amazon Storefront, and you may likely find some of them at your grocery store. https://a.co/iiPlEYX
You could also use an oyster sauce. You just want that hint of umami! As for whether it’s Thai, VN or Filipino, they’re all basically anchovies and salt. I love this recipe for chicken! Let me know how you like! xoxx ally
I just made this. It smelled great while cooking. I will add this recipe to one of my dishes for Easter!
Minna! Thanks so so much for being here! Yes, this is one of my favorite chicken recipes (so easy!). And, it’ll be perfect for Easter! Hope to see more of you, luv! xoxx ally
This looks amazing and flavor punched! I am going to make this; however, I’m going to omit the jalapeno – I don’t do spicy. I’m sure with all the other ingredients, it will be awesome.
Hey, Phyllis! Thank you, and, yes, it’s awesome with or w/o the spice! Please let me know how you like! xoxx ~ally
Can’t wait to try it.
Hi, Kandis!! Oh, gosh, this is an easy delicious recipe! Hope you enjoy as much as we do. Have lots of crusty hot bread for sopping up the juices! xox ~ally
