It’s been awhile since we’ve had a killer chicken recipe around here. This one will be our go-to forever and ever, Amen. Yet it’s truly more of a summer chicken.
Let’s work on a winter one, shall we? Something just as extraordinary, yet suitable for indoor cooking as opposed to outdoor.
Meet sticky pomegranate chicken.
This recipe rocks. it. out. To begin, minimal ingredients. Win. Incredible smell in your home. We win again. And hey, the Orkin pest control guy might invite himself to stay for dinner.
Alright, pretty sure that isn’t a win. Actually, it was totally awkward but hey, he was impressed.
And you will be too.
Sticky Pomegranate Chicken
2015-01-23 11:32:47
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken, I used bone in skin on thighs
- 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Seriously line a roasting pan with foil - cover every inch. This dish gets messy and the foil will make for easy clean up.
- In a sauce pan, simmer the soy sauce and juice over lower heat. Add in the sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Put your chicken in the roasting pan and pour the juice over. Roast for 45 minutes, flip, and roast for an additional 45. Keep on eye on it at the end as it may get too charred for your taste. I pulled ours out after 30 minutes or so of additional roasting.
- I served with brown rice and sugar snap peas!

Regarding #3, approx. how long did it take you to get to the consistency that you liked. Thank you
Hi Tammy! Just a few minutes. The sugar should ‘disappear’ pretty quickly.
A sticky chicken is a good chicken! I really like your use of pomegranate juice in this recipe.
