    Bake for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. ​
  5. Meanwhile, make your glaze. Mix all glaze ingredients together and add to a small pot on the stove over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer; simmer for 5 minutes then set aside. ​
  6. If serving with rice and/or vegetables, cook to your liking.​
  7. Serve chicken with sides of choice and pour glaze over the top. ​
