Instructions

Rub oil, salt, ginger and garlic into chicken breast and let chicken sit at room temperature for 10 minutes (up to 20 minutes) before baking. For best flavor, dry brine in fridge for up to 6 hours before letting rest 20 minutes at room temperature and then baking.
While chicken rests, preheat the oven to 450 F.
Bake chicken on parchment paper lined baking sheet for 15-18 minutes (or until internal temp reaches 160).
While chicken bakes, bring glaze ingredients to a simmer in a sauce pan, then turn heat to low and cook until reduced into a glaze, stirring occasionally for about 12 minutes.
When chicken is 5 minutes from being finished, brush a little of the glaze over the chicken and finish in the oven. Let the meat sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with more honey glaze on top.
Enjoy!
